Karlie Kloss Acquires i-D Magazine from Vice Media

Acquisition Part of Vice Media's Business Streamlining Amid Financial Struggles

Supermodel and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss has acquired i-D magazine from Vice Media Group.
The acquisition was conducted by Kloss and her company, Bedford Media, with financial terms not disclosed.
Kloss will become chief executive of i-D, and Alastair McKimm, who has led i-D since 2019, will expand his role, becoming chief creative officer and global editor in chief.
Vice Media Group, struggling financially and recently acquired out of bankruptcy by Fortress Investment Group, sold i-D as part of an effort to streamline the business.
This is not Kloss's first venture into media ownership; she led a group of investors to acquire W magazine in 2020.
