Highsnobiety Lays Off 12 Staff Members—With More Exits To Come in Europe
Highsnobiety is the latest platform to be affected by layoffs, according to Puck. On Monday, the brand laid off 12 staff members, including its New York-based fashion market editor, executive editor, commerce editor, two social media editors, and head of talent, due to high production costs. However, that’s not the end of staff exits at Highsnobiety, as more layoffs are expected to affect its European branch from parent company Zalando—though its next print issue will still hit newsstands in March. The moves follow the departure of Nichelle Sanders and Cosmopolitan and Seventeen‘s newly minted EIC Willa Bennett this year, as well as 2024’s massive staff layoffs at Goop, WWD, Footwear News, Time, Sports Illustrated, and more media platforms.
The layoffs occurred to make an “efficient allocation of resources” as Highsnobiety works to “streamlining our global structure to more closely align with the shifting industry as well as internal needs,” a Highsnobiety representative told Puck.
