Huw Gwyther (Managing Director of Visual Talent Ltd, the Publishers of Wonderland magazine) is proud to present the new, improved version of bi-annual men’s journal Man About Town. Philip Utz has been appointed as Man About Town’s new Editor-in-Chief. A Paris-based writer and editor, Philip graduated from the Masters in Fashion Journalism course at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design before serving as European Fashion Correspondent for Talk magazine and editor of VMan. His writing has also appeared in The Evening Standard, Fantastic Man, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and V. In addition to his editorship of Man About Town, Philip will be pursuing his activities as Editor-at-Large of Numéro and Numéro Homme. Franck Durand has been appointed as Man About Town’s new Creative Director. A Paris-based art director who founded his creative consultancy Atelier Franck Durand in 2004, Franck is currently the image director of Balmain and Isabel Marant and has played a key part in the successful repositioning of both brands. Franck is also closely involved in the long-term growth strategies of shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti and French jewellery designer Aurélie Bidermann. His other clients have included Chanel, Céline, Hermès and Louis Vuitton. Visual Talent is particularly excited by the prospect of broadening its reach by splitting its operations between London and Paris, and feels that this will add hugely to Man About Town’s unique cosmopolitan appeal.The first issue overseen by the new Editorial team (Spring/Summer 2010) will be a very special Paris-themed edition, and will be on sale in the UK from March 31st, swiftly followed by the rest of Europe, and the US by mid April.
