History
Alan Patricof bought the magazine in 1987. Condé Nast bought the magazine a year later for $2 million. Its current format stems from an October 2000 relaunch of the title, following a transfer of the magazine from Condé Nast to sibling division Fairchild Publications. [1]
Between its last issue at Condé Nast and first at Fairchild, publication of Details was temporarily suspended. This allowed for extensive redesign and strategic repositioning of the magazine.
In April 2004, Details Magazine published an article written by Whitney McNally entitled "Gay or Asian?" In the article, McNally expanded upon stereotypical Asian pop culture references and compared Asian men to gay men. The article led to protests by Asian-American groups and gay rights groups.[2] Details published an apology for the article in its May 2004 issue. The writer, Whitney McNally, was not fired from Details but no longer works for the magazine.[3] [4] [5]
Staff and contributors
Frequent contributors include Augusten Burroughs and Michael Chabon.
Its current editor is Dan Peres, the husband of Australian actress Sarah Wynter.
