Fashion Victim

SAM BAKER has been a writer and editor for numerous British women’s magazines, including Red, New Woman, Chat, and Take a Break. After successfully relaunching the seminal teenage magazine Just Seventeen as J-17, she became editor of the British young women’s magazine Company. Now editor in chief of Red Magazine, she is a regular broadcaster on young women’s issues. Although Sam has spent the past six years on the twice-yearly merry-go-round that is the seasonal ready-to-wear shows, she confesses she still hasn’t learned to kick that “fashion feeling.” Sam lives between Winchester, Hampshire, and London with her partner, the author Jon Courtenay Grimwood.
