Hannah Almassi

Hannah Almassi is the MD for Women’s UK at Future PLC. Following a decade-long tenure as Who What Wear UK’s first Editor-in-Chief, she now oversees Who What Wear and Marie Claire in the UK. Hannah has been part of the the Who What Wear brand since 2015, when she was headhunted to launch the UK sister site and social channels, implement a localised content strategy and build out the editorial team. As an expert at the intersection of content, commerce, building brands and monetising digital platforms, she now combines her editorial experience alongside business acumen to help guide digital titles into the future. 

Hannah was nominated for Editor of the Year at the BSMEs in 2023, and led Who What Wear UK to a nomination for Best Editorial Team at the PPAs also in 2023. Hannah is deeply passionate about nuturing talent, creating a productive, supportive and thriving workplace where people can be their best selves, and using the platform to celebrate diverse voices and personal styles. Hannah takes great pride in creating editorial spaces that are democratic, authentic and full of value in every piece of content. 

Hannah joined Who What Wear following seven years at Grazia magazine, where she began as an intern and worked her way up to lead front-of-book news, fashion features and shopping specials as fashion news and features editor. With experience in both print and digital across fashion and beauty, Hannah has over 17 years in the field as a journalist, editor, content strategist and brand consultant. Hannah has interviewed industry heavyweights such as designers including Marc Jacobs and Jonathan Anderson through to arbiters of taste including Katie Grand and Anna Dello Russo. Hannah also has experience in styling and creatively directing photoshoots across talent covers, commercial content and main fashion editorials. 

A skilled moderator and lecturer specialising in the shift to digital media and e-commerce, Hannah’s opinion and work has been sought by the likes of CNBC, BBC, The Sunday Times Style, The Times and The Telegraph among many others. Hannah is often called upon for her take on trends, becoming known as a person with their finger of the pulse of what’s happening in the fashion space for stylish Brits. She is also a big supporter of young talent, often giving up time to host sessions for universities such as London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martins as well as being a judge at Graduate Fashion Week.

Hannah started her journey through a first-class honours degree in fashion design at Nottingham Trent University. Hannah pivoted her course towards journalism after realising the painstaking clothing production process couldn’t match her fast-paced energy and mind—leading a responsive, premium digital-first brand is a far better match! Hannah currently resides in Eastbourne after relocating from London with her photographer husband, incredibly busy son and highly Instagrammable cat.
