With news coming out last week that Nylon magazine editor-in-chief Michelle Lee was moving on, it has just been announced Lee has taken up the top job at Allure, effective immediately. Lee replaces long-time Allure editor-in-chief Linda Wells, who was let go by the magazine’s publisher Condé Nast. Wells founded the magazine in 1991.
“When Linda Wells launched Allure, it broke new ground and redefined the beauty category, and she leaves us with that rich heritage to build upon. Today we begin a new phase of innovation for the brand, with Michelle paving the way for the next wave of consumers who crave interactive beauty content that’s both inspiring and approachable,” reveals Condé Nast president Bob Sauerberg.
Over at Nylon, deputy editor Melissa Giannini has taken over Lee's role - receiving a promotion to the position of editor-in-chief at the magazine.
"We're thrilled to have an experienced editor like Melissa move into this role so we can ensure a seamless transition. She is the perfect person for the position, as she fully understands the Nylon brand with her tailored editorial background and time with the company specifically. At the same time, we thank Michelle for her superb work at Nylon and wish her the best," says Nylon CEO Paul Greenberg.
