HFM Launches Magazine With Celebrity Designer Chris Madden
Friday, April 1, 2005 
Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. President and
CEO Jack Kliger announced that the new magazine with celebrity designer
Chris Madden has been named
At Home with Chris Madden. Set to debut on May 3, the magazine will
explore Madden's decorating philosophy based on the themes of
renewal, celebration and simplicity.
"I'm thrilled that we're calling my new magazine At Home With Chris Madden," said Chris. "It really captures my belief that our homes are places of sanctuary and rejuvenation." Madden, who serves as the title's editorial director, works alongside Olivia Monjo, editor-in-chief of Hachette's Special Interest Publications division. Jim Fraguela, vice president and publisher, oversees the business side. The At Home With Chris Madden name was selected in part by a Hachette reader panel that consists of nearly 150,000 members nationwide. Eighty-two percent of the panel selected this title from various choices before determining their favorite. Celebrity designer Chris Madden was a design correspondent for the Oprah Show and hosted her own television show on HGTV for eight seasons. Her 16 books include the bestselling A Room of Her Own: Women's Personal Spaces (Clarkson Potter), now in its eleventh printing. Her latest collection, the Chris Madden for JC Penney Home Collection, was introduced in May 2004, and includes designs for every room of the house. Chris Madden was recently named spokesperson for The Partnership for the Homeless and its Furnish-A-Future program, the largest furniture bank in the country.
