The Face: born in London in 1980, the original and definitive style magazine. Reborn in 2019. Endless discovery for a new generation.

Launched by Nick Logan in London in 1980, The Face is the original and definitive style magazine. From the outset, it was a cultural pioneer, covering music, fashion, film, television, society, politics, and world news. And it covered them with inventiveness, innovation, wit, and class—not to mention its groundbreaking graphic design. The gallery of cover stars is as eclectic as it is iconic: from Kate Moss to Alexander McQueen, New Order to The Stone Roses, Grace Jones to David Beckham, Beyoncé to Björk. The talent behind the stories was also legendary, as the magazine worked with the world's best writers, photographers, stylists, and designers. The Face didn't just report on culture. It became the culture. For over 25 years, The Face was at the heart of British and international creativity.

Now, in 2019, The Face is reborn. A new team with a new vision for a new era, yet proudly preserving the magazine's founding vision and core principles. A forward-thinking, multi-platform title that remains true to Logan's pioneering spirit. The Face will continue to champion emerging talent in music, fashion, television, film, and beyond; fly the flag for provocative, rigorous, and long-form journalism; and celebrate the best of style and graphic design. It's a space for immersive, dynamic, and multifaceted stories. It's a space for fun, passion, and enthusiasm.
