Michelle Lee

Michelle was named editor in chief of Allure in November 2015 by Condé Nast Artistic Director Anna Wintour and CEO Bob Sauerberg, replacing founding editor Linda Wells. She is credited with the notable increase in diversity at the brand and for being one of the first digitally-savvy chief editors at Conde Nast. In 2017, Lee made headlines around the world when she declared that Allure would ban the term "anti-aging" and featured Muslim model Halima Aden in July 2017, making Allure the first major women's magazine in the U.S. to feature a woman in a hijab on the cover. Adweek awarded Lee as Editor of the Year in 2017 and Allure was named Magazine of the Year.

Prior to Allure, Lee was Editor in Chief and chief marketing officer of Nylon and Nylon Guys, where she was in charge of editorial content as well as branded content and launched Nylon Studio, the brand's in-house creative agency. Lee was co-founder and chief content and strategy officer at branded content agency Magnified Media and was featured as a "Thought Leader" by Google in 2013. She was the SVP of Content at Hollywood.com and the creator and editorial director of the style site Beyond the Row.
