Kate LanphearKate Lanphear has been named Style Director at T, The New York Times’ Sunday style magazine.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, Lanphear was most recently Style Director at Elle but left the magazine last November. She will now be working for Deborah Needleman, who left the role of Editor at The Wall Street Journal‘s WSJ. Magazine in October to become Editor of T.

Lanphear was rumored to have been interested in taking over Needleman’s vacated spot at WSJ. Magazine, but that position instead went to Kristina O’Neill.

Lanphear has previously held roles at Harper’s Bazaar in the U.S. and Australia, and at Vogue Australia.
