Anne-Marie Curtis, fashion veteran and one of the industry’s leading creative forces, has almost three decades of multi-faceted experience and expertise, encompassing a wide range of roles and skills including that of the highly influential editor-in-chief of British ELLE, as well as fashion director, stylist, writer and consultant and most recently founder of sustainably glossy The Calendar Magazine.

AMC’s unique creative and commercial skillsets are unparalleled in the industry. As editor-in-chief of ELLE UK, she rebranded the magazine, repositioning it as the UK’s fashion authority and must-have platform for luxury millennials. Her commercial credentials included a full revitalisation of the magazine under her stewardship, and the magazine achieved an unheard-of 7.5% increase in circulation between 2018/19 – the highest increase in the market among all glossies, despite a challenging print environment, further highlighting AMC’s astute business acumen. She diversified the ELLE UK portfolio with the launch of ELLE Weekender, a major industry and consumer offering, which featured prestigious speakers such as Diane von Furstenberg, Rosamund Pike and Eva Chen, as well as further expanding the brand’s portfolio via the launch of the inaugural ELLE List – an event and an issue celebrating gamechangers, established and up-and-coming talent in the fashion industry.

AMC is a fearless innovator who commissioned and produced countless groundbreaking covers and portfolios during her tenure as editor, including a Feb 2019 issue featuring Stormzy, a UK grime artist, promoting positivity and diversity and championing young british black talent. Other notable covers during her tenure include: a global exclusive with Michelle Obama and Oprah, and the first UK cover in the luxury sector to feature spokesperson, model and activist Chrissy Teigen. She also launched the first landmark September issue in 2018 – dedicated to sustainability which ignited in her a passion for promoting and driving a more sustainable fashion industry and subsequently led to her founding The Calendar Magazine, a magazine and platform for the considered consumer in March 2021.

Her world-class network and contacts is both extensive and far-reaching. She has collaborated with a host of global talent including Rihanna, Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson, Michelle Williams, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Cara Delevingne and Nicolas Ghesquière, as well as unparalleled industry contacts, which span the world’s top brands, creatives, designers, journalists, industry experts, PRs and fellow publishing executives. She has amassed deep and highly successful long-term relationships with major luxury brands and advertisers over the course of her career.

AMC is a highly sought-after commentator and expert spokesperson, who regularly chairs/participates in panels and has appeared on radio and television throughout the UK and the US. She has also been an active member of the British Fashion Council (BFC) for a number of years. In 2018, she was nominated for Editor of the Year at the BSME Awards and was named one of the Evening Standard’s most influential Londoners in its Progress 1000.

A founding team member and fashion director of Wallpaper magazine at launch in 1996, she set the fashion agenda and tone for the magazine, which went on to achieve countless prestigious accolades and recognition during her tenure and beyond. It was during this time that AMC honed her fashion director skills, which were pivotal to defining Wallpaper’s identity and set her on her path to becoming one of the UK’s most important and established fashion directors. During her tenure at ELLE, her work became the most syndicated content in its global network and she maintained ELLE’s position as the most-syndicated edition throughout her time on the magazine.

Consultancy includes projects with: Elizabeth Arden, L’Oréal, Banana Republic, Gap, Burberry, Aquascutum, Westfield, Bucherer, Pandora and Boodles.

As a writer and an influencer, AMC has a unique tone of voice in the industry, as well as from a fashion journalist point of view. She wrote a regular column for ELLE and is in great demand as an ongoing contributor to various titles and publications. As a micro-influencer with a combined social media following of more than 52,000 followers, AMC’s opinion and style credentials speak for themselves.
