Michiel Steur has been promoted from Chief Commercial Officer to Chief Executive Officer at fashion and culture magazine i-D.

Michiel joined the publication two years ago and led the commercial relaunch of i-D under Bedford Media, driving growth across print, digital, social and experiential platforms. He expanded the organisation by bringing on new talent and backing fresh business areas including international events, commercial growth in technology, beauty and automotive, and brand partner content development.

Michiel previously held several executive positions at Condé Nast, finishing as Vice President of Brand Revenue for British Vogue in 2024.

"Throughout my career, I have admired i-D not only for the stories it tells, but for the talent it has nurtured throughout its history and the lasting impact it has had on culture and the creative industries. To now have the opportunity to lead this exceptional team into its next chapter is an incredible honour. I am excited to step into this new role and continue creating an environment where our editorial and commercial teams can do their very best work — whether that is producing world-class storytelling, championing the next generation of creative talent, or building meaningful brand partnerships. Together, we will continue to build on i-D's legacy while driving the next phase of growth for this iconic media brand."

"i-D is more than a magazine; it has served as a cultural platform that has nurtured and launched creative talent for almost 50 years. We have a clear opportunity to further build upon that legacy. Michiel recognises the cultural responsibility attached to i-D, as well as the vast potential ahead. In this new leadership role, he will strengthen the business and infrastructure needed to expand i-D into a platform that actively invests in new verticals grounded in its global community, creative authority, and cultural reach," said Karlie Kloss, Founder, Chairwoman and CEO of Bedford Media.
