Deborah Needleman, an American editor and writer is editor in chief of T: The New York Times Style Magazine. Prior to that she was editor in chief of WSJ. Magazine, and before that, the founding editor in chief of domino magazine.
Needleman grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and graduated from George Washington University where she studied philosophy and art history.
Needleman worked as a photographer's assistant for a freelance photographer before becoming the photo editor at The Washington Post Sunday magazine. She wrote about gardens and design for The New York Times, Slate, and House & Garden, where she was editor-at-large, before becoming a magazine editor.
Deborah Needleman was named editor of T: The New York Times Style Magazine in September 2012.
The first issue of T under Deborah Needleman in March 2013 featured Lee Radziwill on the cover, for which she and Sofia Coppola produced a short film. As part of the 10th Anniversary issue of T in October 2014, the magazine ran 10 different covers and the website looked back on some of T's most memorable covers.
The magazine under her tenure was known for an intelligent and eclectic mix of subject matter, for its financial turn around.
One of her last issues in October 2016 was themed 'The Greats' and had 7 different covers featuring people transforming culture in a unique way: Michelle Obama, Zadie Smith, William Eggleston, Kerry James Marshall, Junya Watanabe, Lady Gaga and Massimo Bottura. To celebrate the issue, the magazine held a salon-like dinner party at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan where the honorees and guests could converse in an intimate way without many of the usual distractions of organized 'events', such as a red carpet, social media bloggers, or outside press coverage. The writer Zadie Smith sang jazz standards, accompanied by the Carlyle's pianist, during cocktails in Bemelman's Bar, the renowned chef Massimo Bottura created a special menu and served the meal, the artist Kerry James Marshall spoke about his work, and after dinner, Lady Gaga performed a new song at the piano, 'Fallen Angel' written in honor of Trayvon Martin.
