Joe Zee, who spent seven years as creative director at ELLE, is leaving the magazine in order to become editor-in-chief at Yahoo Fashion as well as editor of the site’s beauty section.

“He will lead the vision, creative direction and development of the new Yahoo Fashion digital magazine, where he will bring his sensibility of luxury fashion and ‘accessible cool’,” says Yahoo.

"Joe will also bring his style expertise and insider access to create video series, original programming, and special events for Yahoo’s upcoming fashion and beauty magazines."

Zee has previously worked at Vanity Fair, Details, W and House & Garden. A top fashion stylist, he co-authored the book The ELLEments of Personal Style, and is currently working on a second book that should be ready for publication by summer 2015.
