Editor-in-chiefs are like buses. You wait for one and then two come along at once. This morning, it was announced that Anne-Marie Curtis, Elle’s current Fashion Director is getting an upgrade to Editor-in-Chief, taking the helm of the British glossy, and now this afternoon we’ve received word that after months of speculation since Deborah Needleman stepped down as Editor-in-Chief of the New York Times’ T Magazine, it has been confirmed that Hanya Yanagihara will take over the role. Being children of a FFEIC (fearless female Editrix-in-Chief) we are delighted that the two roles have gone to women. Hanya, for those of you who haven’t read blockbuster nov A Little Life (it’s very good, I cried), is an author, but has previously worked at T as Deputy Editor, as well as Editor-in-Chief of Conde Nast Traveler. “Given her creativity and breadth of experience, Hanya will elevate T’s distinct and provocative storytelling to a level that explores global culture and enriches each part of the T experience, in print and digitally,” said New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet. Best of luck to both women on their new roles – we look forward to much upcoming print stimulation.
