History
T: The New York Times Style Magazine was launched in August 2004. It was published 13 times per year between 2013 and 2016,[1] and since January 2017 has been published 11 times per year.[2]
Stefano Tonchi was editor until 2010; his replacement was Sally Singer. Singer left in 2012 and was replaced by Deborah Needleman. In 2013, Brendan Monaghan was announced as the first publisher, whilst Monaghan and Sebastian Tomich were jointly named vice presidents of advertising.[3] Monaghan departed T in 2015 and in March 2016, former Women's Health Associate Publisher, Elizabeth Webbe Lunny joined the magazine as Vice President and Publisher.[2]
Deborah Needleman left T in late November 2016,[4] after four years in the position. Executive editor Whitney Vargas was filling in for Needleman in the interim, but Vargas left the magazine in February. T's previous articles editor Nick Haramis recently took the job of editor-in-chief of Interview magazine. Under Needleman's leadership, T underwent a redesign and increased its ad pages. The luxury magazine had its ad pages grow by 30 percent in the first three quarters of 2016, compared to the same period in 2012, to 934 pages, according to Business of Fashion.[5] Since the editorial departures, T's advertising business under Lunny has largely been down with steep declines in paging in key 2017 Women's & Men's Spring Fashion issues.[2]
The American Society of Magazine Editors' National Magazine Awards, sometimes known as "Ellies," were given to the New York Times Style Magazine and the New York Times Magazine in 2019. Both publications are owned by the same company. In 2021, the New York Times Style Magazine won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence, Service, and Lifestyle.[citation needed]
International editions
In 2010, its first country-specific edition, T Qatar, was launched.[7] It was followed by T China, T Japan, T Singapore, and then T Spain, the first licensed edition in the European market.[citation needed]
T Australia is an online and quarterly print magazine focused on the Australian market.[8]
