The model and venture capitalist purchased the publishing rights to the photo magazine, which could be back in circulation by early next year.
Model Karlie Kloss and her husband, venture capitalist Josh Kushner, are relaunching the iconic photo magazine, Life.
On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Kloss’ Bedford Media had purchased the publishing rights for Life from publisher Dotdash Meredith. Kloss now plans to revive the title with regular print editions.
An emblem of American culture, Life magazine was first published as a weekly edition in 1883 and transitioned to a monthly publication in the late 70s.
Over the decades, it featured some of the most memorable images of the 20th century, like Alfred Eisenstaed’s V-J Day photo of a sailor kissing a nurse and artist Norman Rockwell’s illustrations of everyday life.
Life stopped printing regularly in 2008 and has since existed as an online archive with occasional special newsstand editions.
