Hasta La Ideas

Following this summer’s news that Paige Rense Noland was retiring and Elle Decor‘s Margaret Russell was taking over as Editor-in-Chief, all the big changes at Architectural Digest are almost complete with today’s announcement of the magazine’s almost entirely all-new editorial staff. As you might recall from our post about Russell landing the top job, with that shift in leadership also came a move from Los Angeles to New York, where the magazine will now be located. Although a few staffers from before the swap are keeping their jobs and staying on back in LA, the majority come from other New York-based magazines, as well as a few who had worked for Russell at Elle Decor. Here’s the complete list:

Executive Editor: Sarah Medford, formerly Director of Arts, Culture & Design at Town & Country

Managing Editor: Lawrence Karol, formerly Executive Managing Editor at W Magazine

Special Projects Editor: Mitchell Owens, formerly Editor at Large at Elle Decor

Interiors Editor: Robert Rufino, formerly Vice President of Creative Services at Tiffany & Co., and most recently, a Senior Editor at Large at House Beautiful

Design Editor: Howard Christian, formerly manager of the Treillage design/home-furnishings/garden shops

Style Editor: Elana Frankel, formerly Decorating Editor at Martha Stewart Living

Senior Writer: Sam Cochran, formerly a freelance writer specializing in design, arts and culture, and travel
