Streetwear media platform Highsnobiety has announced the appointments of Noah Johnson as editor in chief, Caitlin LeRoux as SVP and general manager of Highsnobiety North America, and Tom Lee as VP and head of creative. 

​
Johnson, LeRoux and Lee will be based out of Highsnobiety’s New York offices, overseeing their teams from January 6. 

In his new position, Johnson will oversee all aspects of Highsnobiety’s print and digital editorial operations.

A media veteran, ​Johnson most recently served as the global style director of GQ, and previously held editor positions at Details, Style.com, and Complex with writing published by The New York Times, New York Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal. 

“I have admired Noah’s ability to bring a fresh, smart and always spot-on perspective to style, culture, and storytelling for a number of years. He has an innate skill of honing in on the stories that one didn’t quite know needed to be told, and to tell them with depth and authenticity. We couldn’t be more excited for him to bring his singular point of view and leadership to the Highsnobiety team and community,” said David Fischer, founder and chief executive officer, Highsnobiety.

As SVP and GM of North America, LeRoux will oversee all the Germany-based company’s commercial departments in the US from the New York office, following ten years with the brand’s London and Berlin offices. In her last role, LeRoux led the company’s expansion into the UK tripling the size of Highsnobiety’s London team during her tenure.

Finally, Lee rejoins the Highsnobiety team as VP, head of creative, after previously serving as the company’s creative director from 2018 to 2021. He has a background in the creative industries serving in key positions with Matte Projects, B-Reel and Vice/Virtue, amongst others.

Founded in 2005 by Fischer, Highsnobiety is a global media business headquartered in Berlin with offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Milan and Tokyo.
