Dennen joins Tatler from The Mail on Sunday, where he holds the position of Features Writer-at-Large. Prior to this, he was Style Writer for The Sunday Times and a columnist for the Evening Standard.

Albert Read, Managing Director of Condé Nast Britain, commented: “Richard Dennen was the standout candidate. A Tatler Editor must possess an almost impossible set of talents – an intuitive connection with the Tatler world, journalistic flair, wit, an appetite for rich, visual indulgence and an instinctive appreciation of fashion and luxury.

“With his remorseless energy and ambition, Richard possesses all these elements and more.”

The new Tatler Editor previously worked for the title for six years, rising up to the position of Editor-at-Large. Dennen has also consulted for the Cliveden Literary Festival and for the fashion brand Max Studio.

“I am thrilled to be returning to Tatler – the original social media. Having admired the way it has covered British society over the last three centuries, I can’t wait to continue that success story. The Tatler I edit will access an even wider world, featuring arresting and impossibly glamorous fashion and lifestyle,” added Dennen.

He takes over the role from Kate Reardon, who stepped down as Editor in December 2017. Dennen will take up his new position on February 12.
