NYLON and NYLON GUYS have a new woman topping the masthead. Stephanie Trong has been named executive editor of both publications, effective August 4.

She replaces April Long, who was recently named senior beauty and fitness editor at Elle.

A veteran of Jane, Trong(above) was most recently the executive editor of Page Six Magazine.

"I remember the premier issue of NYLON, and I thought it was like nothing I had ever seen," Trong said. "Better than any American magazine. I am thrilled to work with this extremely talented and creative team."

Editor in chief Marvin Scott Jarrett was equally enthused."I'm thrilled to have Stephanie on board," he said. "She really understands the NYLON brand and brings a fresh perspective to the editorial team. Stephanie's talented work speaks for itself, and she will be a great asset to the magazine."
