Kathleen Beckett

Kathleen Beckett’s two passions are travel and fashion. She has written about both for major publications around the world, starting on staff at Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour and Vogue, where she penned her own column, FYI: Inside Style. Beckett’s articles have appeared in the International Herald Tribune, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the London Sunday Times, Town & Country, In Style, Travel & Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler and many more. Beckett was also a long-time Contributing Editor to Elle. She was profiling a designer for Elle when she realized there might be men and women who would enjoy the same inner access that she did as a journalist. That experience laid the groundwork for Friends of Fashion, which creates designer events for organizations such as New York’s Harvard Club, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, the American Friends of the Louvre, the Four Seasons Hotel, and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
