LONDON -- (Business Wire)

Suzy Menkes, fashion editor of the International Herald Tribune (IHT), has been named international fashion editor of the International New York Times as the rebranded IHT will be called when it debuts later this year.

The International New York Times will be a multiplatform version of The New York Times tailored and edited specifically for global audiences. Fashion content will have a higher profile on Global.NYTimes.com with more multimedia, videos and in-depth daily coverage of fashion and style news from around the world.

“Fashion and lifestyle coverage have always been in the IHT’s DNA and under Suzy Menkes that coverage has become world-renowned,” said Stephen Dunbar-Johnson, publisher of the IHT. “As international fashion editor of the International New York Times, Suzy will bring her distinctive and authoritative voice to a wider global audience across print, mobile and web platforms.”

“I can see tremendous shifts towards the digitized world and am delighted that we will be providing richer content in video and graphics as well as in words to a broader audience of readers,” said Suzy Menkes.

“Suzy is a force of nature in the fashion world," said Jill Abramson, executive editor of The New York Times. “I am so proud of our unrivalled fashion coverage.”

This expanded fashion report will complement the well-known coverage of The New York Times fashion team which includes, among others, Chief Fashion Critic Cathy Horyn, Fashion Reporter Eric Wilson and led by The Times’s Styles Editor Stuart Emmrich.
