Katherine Ormerod has worked as a journalist for nearly two decades, starting her career as a fashion assistant at Sunday Times Style, moving subsequently to Grazia and Glamour. Prior to her magazine career, she graduated with a MA(Hons) in History from the University of Edinburgh and went on to complete a Master's in Fashion History & Theory from the London College of Fashion. Katherine has written for the FT, the Telegraph, Harper's Bazaar and the Mail on Sunday and many other print and digital publications. As one of the first to recognise the changing landscape from traditional to digital media, Katherine set up her own consultancy in 2014 to accelerate fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands in editorialising marketing messages across social platforms. A social media influencer in her own right, she has over 70k followers, has been featured in a broad selection of press features and is a regular panellist with experience in TV and radio including Good Morning Britain, Sky News, LBC, ABC News Radio and Radio 5 Live. In January 2017, she launched Work Work Work, an anti-perfectionism platform where high-profile women shared stories from their 'unedited' lives, followed by her debut book, Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life in 2018. Over the past three years, Katherine has worked as a prolific ghost, co-writing a further seven titles across fashion, self help, fitness and celebrity memoirs. She also authors a successful weekly Substack with a 10k strong subscriber base and has recently taken on the editorial directorship of The Condo, an upscale décor editorial platform. Her upcoming title, Your Not Forever Home, unpicks our new relationship with property ownership focusing on those living in non-permanent homes in mid-life and beyond. Through a collection of exploratory essays, Katherine provides a blueprint to not just survive this shifted reality, but to thrive. Proving that temporary spaces can be beautiful places, the title also offers scores of DIY projects to help renters transform impersonal, optic white rooms into warm, aspirational sanctuaries. Part inspiring décor coffee table book—with an emphasis on affordable, elevated and temporary ideas—and part rallying cry for generation rent, this book is rich from both aesthetic and reflective perspectives.
