Hamish Bowles (born 23 July 1963) is an English fashion journalist and editor. He is Vogue magazine's global editor at large. On 17 September 2021, Bowles was also named the new editor in chief at The World of Interiors, a Condé Nast interior design magazine.[2] In addition to his editorial roles, Bowles has hosted the podcasts In Vogue: The 1990s and In Vogue: The 2000s. He also narrates Vogue's YouTube series Everything You Need to Know.[2]
From 1984 until 1992, he worked for Harper's Bazaar UK, first as a fashion editor, then as fashion director and, from 1989, as style director.[4] In 1992, Bowles joined the staff of the American edition of Vogue.
In October 2022, then aged 59, Bowles suffered an acute ischemic stroke while inspecting a home renovation, with catastrophic deficits in the areas of locomotion, speech, memory, and motor reflexes. "...Blood flow to my brain was blocked," he writes in his narrative of recovery, published in British Vogue. "I couldn’t speak, nor move the right side of my body....It would be another 50 days before I regained the ability to drink or eat without intubation, and another 145 days before I would see a bed outside of the hospital."[9]
In September 2021, Bowles became editor-in-chief of The World of Interiors. The magazine has only had three editors during its 41-year history.[10] However, in 2024, Bowles became creative director-at-large and the magazine's editor Emily Tobin took on the editor-in-chief position.[11]
