Definition of Tyler brûlé

The only child of Canadian football star Paul Brule of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Rough Riders, and Alouettes, and Virge Brule, an artist,[1] he moved to the United Kingdom in 1989 and trained as a journalist with the BBC. He subsequently wrote for The Guardian, Stern, The Sunday Times and Vanity Fair. After being shot by a sniper while covering the Afghanistan war in March 1994 and losing the use of his left hand, Brûlé left journalism and launched Wallpaper*, a style and fashion magazine which was one of the most influential new magazines of the 1990s. Time Warner bought the magazine in 1997, and kept Brûlé on as editorial director. Two spin-off magazines were launched: "Line" addressing sports and "Spruce" covering fashion - both were discontinued after three issues. 2001, he became the youngest ever recipient of the British Society of Magazine Editors Lifetime Achievement Award.
