Some new details on Love, Katie Grand’s new magazine, via WWD:
1. The release is a little sooner than expected - set your iPhone to February 19th.
2. As rumored, Katie’s scooped up Francesca Burns from i-D to be her Senior Fashion Editor-at-Large.
3. She’s also hired on Mark Frith, former editor of Heat (kind of like the British In Touch), which is a little surprising considering the magazine’s supposed to focus on fashion and art, and has been touted as “high-end” and “edgy” by Conde Nast UK.
Baby Spice for the first cover? Maybe, but probably wearing Pugh…
UPDATE: The entire masthead, after the jump…

So Mark Frith, he's fairly well respected and the magazine he worked for, Heat, was published by Bauer, the very same Bauer that published POP. The POP team were his biggest fans because by all accounts he was one of the few people that didn't treat them like freaks at Bauer HQ.Oh and don't count on there being too many 'baby spice" like covers.Its fair to say Mark Frith made a lot of celebrity enemies during his time at Heat. I think its quite cool they hired him.He can provide a nice slant on the whole celebrity/pop culture that seems to dominate magazines these days.I loved POP and I can't wait to see how Love turns out.
