Job Description
The Styles desk is looking for a creative and ambitious reporter to produce quick turn news stories and short features about the people, places and ideas that shape fashion now. You are well-versed in style and fashion, and have developed relationships with designers and brands. You should be ready to cover runway shows and red carpet events — and be able to spot trends before our competitors get to them.

This role requires creativity, understanding of deadlines and the ability to work with a team as you will work with editors to develop specific timely storylines.
