Vienna-Based Media Entrepreneur Launches Multimedia Luxury Platform
Only Hands By Anna Redefines Luxury Storytelling Across Video, Audio, and Editorial
VIENNA, Austria — Anna Borisovna Znamensky, a Vienna-based multimedia journalist
and former Editor-in-Chief of L’Officiel Austria, has announced the official launch
of Only Hands By Anna, an independent multimedia platform dedicated to luxury and
lifestyle content. The platform, accessible at onlyhandsbyanna.com, presents
original content in three distinct formats: Watch, Listen, and Read.
The launch marks a significant step in the evolution of luxury media, as the
platform moves away from the traditional single-format model of print publishing
and toward an integrated multimedia approach. Unlike conventional luxury titles,
Only Hands By Anna is entirely produced, hosted, scripted, and written by
Znamensky herself — making it one of the few founder-led, single-voice multimedia
brands in the European luxury media space.
“The future of luxury journalism is not a magazine or a podcast or a video channel
— it is all three, told by someone with genuine knowledge and a genuine point of
view,” said Znamensky. “Only Hands By Anna exists because I wanted to create
something that reflects how a modern audience actually consumes content.”
The platform’s three content verticals — Watch, Listen, and Read — function as
independent experience worlds, each serving a different audience preference while
maintaining a unified editorial voice. Video content features Znamensky as on-camera
host, audio content takes a journalistic and conversational format, and written
editorial covers the full spectrum of luxury culture from high watchmaking to haute
couture.
Znamensky brings extensive industry credentials to the venture. She served as
Editor-in-Chief of L’Officiel Austria from 2022, overseeing editorial strategy and
brand partnerships with clients including Cartier, Chopard, Tiffany & Co., and
Patek Philippe. Prior to that, she held the role of Commercial Director at the same
publication from 2019. Her career also includes a traineeship at the European
Parliament and a posting at the British Embassy in Vienna.
In addition to its editorial content, Only Hands By Anna offers editorial
photography production and luxury brand campaign services, drawing on Znamensky’s
decade-long network within the international luxury industry.
Znamensky holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of
Nottingham and a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Warwick.
She is multilingual, working fluently across English, Russian, Georgian, and German.
Only Hands By Anna is based in Vienna, Austria, and serves a global audience with
content published on a rolling basis across all three formats.
