Super-stylist Katie Grand is fashion’s contemporary heroine. This book is a visual history of her fearless career and looks to the future as she embarks on her new venture, The Perfect Magazine. Influential, visionary, daring, cool: Katie Grand has been setting fashion’s agenda for close to 25 years. Her career trajectory begs the question: Is there anything Grand can’t do? The gap-toothed former editor in chief of the era-defining English glossy LOVE, Grand has worked with and styled for the coolest brands and magazines of note. In this exceptional volume devoted to a career of singular moments that have redrawn the bound-aries of style—including pivotal editorials, magazine covers, advertising campaigns, runway, and private ephemera—Grand mines her rich past and tells us the story, in words and pictures, of her early rock ‘n’ roll years at The Face and Pop to becoming a key player on the global fashion stage to championing what were to become some of the biggest names in fashion (Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner). She gives us behind-the-scenes access to the stories and scandals behind some of contemporary fashion’s most provocative photos.

Decades tend to crest halfway through, and 1995 was the year of the Nineties: peak Britpop (Oasis v Blur), peak YBA (Tracey Emin's tent), peak New Lad (when Nick Hornby published High Fidelity, when James Brown's Loaded detonated the publishing industry, and when pubs were finally allowed to stay open on a Sunday). It was the year of The Bends, the year Danny Boyle started filming Trainspotting, the year Richey Edwards went missing, the year Alex Garland wrote The Beach, the year Blair changed Clause IV after a controversial vote at the Labour Conference. Not only was the mid-Nineties perhaps the last time that rock stars, music journalists and pop consumers held onto a belief in rock's mystical power, it was a period of huge cultural upheaval - in art, literature, publishing and drugs. And it was a period of almost unparalleled hedonism, a time when many people thought they deserved to live the rock and roll lifestyle, when a generation of narcotic omnivores thought they could all be rock stars just by buying a magazine and a copy of (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Faster Than a Cannonball is a cultural swipe of the decade from loungecore to the rise of New Labour, teasing all the relevant artistic strands through interviews with all the major protagonists and exhaustive re-evaluations of the important records of the year - The Bends by Radiohead, Grand Prix by Teenage Fanclub, Maxinquaye by Tricky, Different Class by Pulp, The Great Escape by Blur, It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah! by Black Grape, Exit Planet Dust by the Chemical Brothers, I Should Coco by Supergrass, Elastica by Elastica, Pure Phase by Spiritualized, ...I Care Because You Do by Aphex Twin and of course (What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis, the most iconic album of the decade.
