Lindsay Peoples is an American editor. She is the former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, and was the youngest editor-in-chief of any Condé Nast magazine. She was named editor-in-chief of New York magazine's The Cut in 2021. Business of Fashion said of Peoples in 2019, "One of the youngest and only prominent Black editors in the industry, she has maintained a strong focus on issues of race, politics and inclusive representation throughout her career in fashion media."

Life and career

Peoples was raised in Brown Deer, Wisconsin. After attending Buena Vista University in Iowa, she started an internship at Teen Vogue. She later held an assistant position within the company.

She left Teen Vogue to work for The Cut, an online style and culture publication of New York Magazine, as a fashion editor. During her time at The Cut, she wrote a "celebrated" article on what it is like to be black in fashion, interviewing 100 people in the business. In October 2018, she became editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, making her the youngest, as well as the third African-American, editor-in-chief of a Condé Nast publication. In 2019, The New York Times profiled Peoples on her first year as Editor of Teen Vogue, how she got there, and why she was upending things.

In 2020 she founded the Black in Fashion Council with Sandrine Charles, an organization dedicated to holding the fashion industry accountable for change related to race and inclusion. The Black in Fashion Council garnered the support of approximately 400 Black models, stylists, executives, and editors and has 38 international partners.

In 2021, Peoples rejoined The Cut as its editor-in-chief, replacing Stella Bugbee.

Since taking over The Cut, the magazine gained notoriety for its focus on diverse voices, personal essays, and notable covers, including Meghan Markle in 2022, Naomi Campbell, Simone Biles's first post-Olympics interview in 2021, Julianne Moore, Erykah Badu, Greta Lee, Tracee Ellis Ross , Stacey Abrams, Dylan Mulvaney and "The Women of Euphoria." The Cut also championed a "This Magazine Can Help You Get an Abortion" cover and has an active database to "Find an Abortion Near You" by zip code. In 2024, The Cut expanded to its own print edition, with covers featuring Chloe Sevigny and Usher, as well as a Cut Cafe pop-up.

In 2023, The Cut/New York Magazine won an ASME (American Society of Magazine Editors) Special Issue Award for its 10 years of Black Lives Matter stories, featuring a cover interviewing Sybrina Fulton, whose son, Trayvon Martin, was murdered in 2012.

In 2024, Peoples was featured in a Washington Post article about millennial women leading the fashion journalism industry.
