New York editor-in-chief David Haskell announced today that Samuel Hine is joining the magazine as senior men’s style editor. At New York, Hine will write a weekly men’s style newsletter that blends reporting, insider access, and analysis and produce feature stories, commentary, and short-form social video. He will also be a key contributor to an upcoming stand-alone print issue on men’s style — the first fully devoted to the topic in the magazine’s nearly 60-year history. He starts on May 26.
Launching this Fall, New York’s men’s issue will examine the state of men’s fashion through the magazine’s distinct cultural lens. It will be an ambitious, deeply reported look at how men dress, and what that says about power, identity, and culture now, with lavish photography and lively storytelling. The magazine will look at the designers, businesses, and characters shaping the industry alongside the talent everyone will be talking about next.
“Sam’s rise at GQ has been incredibly fun to watch,” said Haskell. “He’s become a true authority in men’s fashion, a writer with enthusiasm and discernment and deep knowledge of what’s genuinely interesting right now, and a journalist with an easy facility across storytelling formats. I can’t think of anyone better to join our staff as we set out to create this special issue on men’s style and to cover the subject more intentionally throughout the year in newsletters, features, on social media, and more.”
Hine was most recently GQ’s global fashion correspondent, overseeing the magazine’s global fashion coverage and writing the popular newsletter Show Notes. He also profiled designers, celebrities, artists, and influencers across the magazine and GQ.com. He was one of the most prominent ambassadors for the GQ brand around the world, a regular presence on industry panels and podcasts, and frequently quoted in major news outlets. He joined GQ as editorial assistant to then–GQ Style editor-in-chief Will Welch in 2016. In that role, he helped Welch build GQ Style and co-hosted the celebrated podcast Corporate Lunch and was steadily promoted prior to assuming his most recent role.
