Elizabeth Paton to Succeed Lauren Indvik as FT's Fashion Editor
Change is coming to the fashion desk at The Financial Times. Elizabeth Paton, who was most recently international styles correspondent at The New York Times, will succeed Lauren Indvik as the FT's fashion editor, starting in August. The move is something of a homecoming for Paton, who worked at the FT from 2011 to 2015 under then fashion editor Vanessa Friedman before joining Friedman at the Times. Alongside fashion weeks in London, Milan and Paris, Paton has covered topics ranging from the British royal family and the bursting of the luxury e-commerce bubble to sweatshop labour in fashion's supply chains and how fashion fits into Qatar's soft power strategy. At the FT, Paton will oversee the newspaper's fashion and style coverage, as well as curating its annual Business of Luxury Summit. 'I look forward to giving the global fashion and luxury industry scrutiny and attention with coverage that gets to the heart of what is happening and why it matters,' she said. 'I won't be afraid to publish stories that elicit strong reactions and start big conversations. I want the coverage to be more fun and more serious.' Indvik will become deputy editor of the FT's house and home section. Disclosure: The Financial Times is part of a group of investors which, together, hold a minority interest in The Business of Fashion. All investors have signed shareholders' documentation guaranteeing BoF's complete editorial independence.
