Francesca Burns is without doubt one of the most renowned stylists today. After reading law at university, she decides to study at the London College of Fashion and starts her career assisting the stylist William Baker on Kylie Minogue's "Fever" tour. After assisting important stylists such as Joe McKenna and Jonathan Kaye, she decides to set off on her own, working with major publications such as W Magazine, Pop, i-D Magazine, Love Magazine, British Vogue and The Gentlewoman. Known for her sharp sense of style, she collaborates with many photographers such as Colin Dodgson, Angelo Pennetta, Zoe Ghertner, Karim Sadli, Harley Weir... These collaborations are the ones which appear in PRINT, the magazine she co-founded in 2016 with artistic director Christopher Simmonds. The (printed) 400-page magazine, a hybrid object, is home to a fabulous mix of limited-edition pictures, posters, postcards created with the help of Frank Ocean, David Sims and many more. Francesca Burns is definitely a singular and modern stylist, whose work portrays a sensitive and very personal point of view.
