Kurt Soller, online style editor for Esquire, is leaving the magazine for a spot with New York’s ever-expanding fashion/lifestyle site, The Cut. Soller will be a fashion features editor for the site.

“On Monday, I start a new job at @nymag, editing fashion features for @thecut,” tweeted Soller. “Can’t wait to get started!”

Soller joins a growing staff at The Cut, which includes editorial director Stella Bugbee; features editor Maureen O’Connor; senior editor Charlotte Cowles; and beauty editor Christina Han. 

New York’s fashion blog The Cut is getting set to expand, and so it is setting its sights high. According to The New York Times, The Cut is set to grow the week of August 13, backed by better coverage of fashion shows and new content overseen by the likes of former Gawker staffer Maureen O’Connor.

The goal? To take on Vogue and Jezebel. Adam Moss, New York’s editor-in-chief, told the Times that The Cut will be ”a high-end fashion magazine with the scrappiness of a blog.”

The Cut’s growth will surely generate more interest from fashion advertisers, who already like New York. The Times reports that fashion advertising rose by 34 percent this year, and beauty product ads increased by a whopping 100 percent.

New York’s fashion blog, The Cut, has added Maureen O’Connor as its new Features Editor, according to WWD. O’Connor comes to The Cut from Gawker, where she has worked since 2009. Prior to that she contributed to The Daily Beast.

According to a New York spokesperson, O’Connor will be tasked with appointing features for the blog among other duties.

O’Connor’s last day at Gawker is this Friday.

Is David Zinczenko a thief? Maureen O’Connor at Gawker thinks so. She’s reporting that the Men’s Health Editor-in-Chief has been taking articles written by writers for the magazine, then republishing them as his own for his Yahoo! column.

O’Connor says there are multiple cases of blatant plagiarism:

For instance, check out Zinczenko’s recent “15 Worst Health and Diet Myths.” Myths 1 – 5 are ripped verbatim from Men’s Health writer Alan Aragon‘s “The Truth Behind 5 Food Myths.” Zinczenko didn’t even bother changing the order of the myths.

If it’s true, the next Men’s Health cover should have a picture of Zinczenko along with copy reading, “15 Ways To Get Writers To Write About Rock Hard Abs Then Rip Them Off.”
