NEW YORK, October 12, 2005 - STYLE.COM, the online home of Vogue and W, and MEN.STYLE.COM, the online home of GQ & Details, today announced the appointment of a new Editor-in-Chief and a new Publisher..
Effective immediately, Dirk Standen will become Editor-in-Chief of the two sister sites. Previously, Standen was Deputy Editor of CondéNet, where he oversaw day-to-day activity across the network of destination sites. Prior to joining the company in 2003 Standen was a freelance writer and editor, contributing to GQ, Details, Food and Wine, The New York Observer, and other magazines. He has also held senior editorial positions at several major internet publications, including Microsoft's Sidewalk.com. In his new role, Standen will report into CondéNet Editorial Director Jamie Pallot.
"This is great news for two reasons," said Pallot. "First, I know that Dirk is going to do a brilliant job, and make both sites even better. Second, this reflects the amazing growth we're enjoying across the CondéNet network. We're responding to that expansion with a new management structure, of individual editors-in-chief for each site."
Also today, Marcia Kline, formerly the Publisher of Child Magazine, joins CondéNet as Publisher of both STYLE sites. At Child Kline was responsible for developing the strategy and implementation of all aspects of the parenting lifestyle magazine, prior to which she was the Associate Publisher of Condé Nast Traveler.

"Marcia has a long track record of working in innovative ways with leading advertisers and their agencies," said Salomon.
