The New York Times is set to launch a new print section devoted to men’s fashion and lifestyle coverage, called “Men’s Style”.
The section, which will appear monthly and run between 12 and 14 pages, will debut on Friday, April 3, and publish the first Friday of every month. Currently, the paper’s fashion coverage includes Thursday Styles, Sunday Styles and T Magazine.
Styles editor Stuart Emmrich will oversee the men’s section, and will rely on the paper’s fashion writers, who include Guy Trebay, Matthew Schneier and John Koblin, as well as others.
Emmrich told WWD that the idea came up during a conversation with executive editor Dean Baquet, who suggested adding more men’s wear coverage to the paper. “In the last six months, we’ve been doing a lot more men’s wear stories. The impression from the outside world is that Styles is a women’s section, but [readership]
is split 50-50.” Emmrich noted that he would send someone to BaselWorld this year to cover the watch market — a first for The Times. It will also add a dedicated watch column.
“We see such robust advertising potential for us,” said Brendan Monaghan, the paper’s vice president of luxury advertising. “The luxury segment is growing. I don’t think we’ll see
just fashion advertisers. We’ll see liquor, auto and premium lifestyles. It will open up digital inventory for us.”
