“We’re all multifaceted human beings, and we can enjoy fashion and want to enjoy some fun but also really care about the state of the world and where we are in politics,” Ms. Peoples Wagner said in an interview on Monday. “I think The Cut has done a really good job of not putting women in boxes.”
Ms. Bugbee, who ran the site from 2012 until last year, is credited with making it into a digital powerhouse with a conversationally elegant tone. A 2017 redesign brought with it a shift from style and fashion to a wider view that included politics and gender issues.
“We tried to have a lot of fun,” Ms. Bugbee said. “That was one of our main goals at all times, and that really informed the sensibility.”
She said that Ms. Peoples Wagner had impressed her during her time as a fashion editor at The Cut. “I think Lindsay is and always was one of the most ambitious editors that I have ever encountered,” Ms. Bugbee said, adding that her successor had “a real perspective that stood out from the crowd.”
One of Ms. Peoples Wagner’s last projects for The Cut before she left for Teen Vogue was an examination of being Black in the fashion industry, an article for which she interviewed more than 100 people of color. She said inclusivity would be her number-one priority on her return to the publication. (Ms. Peoples Wagner is also a co-founder of the Black in Fashion Council, which represents people of color in the industry.)
