Maxim Hires Former GQ ‘Style Guy’ as Editor

WWD: Maxim has named Glenn O’Brien editor at large. The role is essentially a replacement for Kate Lanphear, who was let go as editor in chief last month after six months on the job. He said that he would “have all the authority” as an editor in chief. O’Brien, who is perhaps best known for his 15-year-stint as GQ’s “The Style Guy” columnist, will continue to work on side projects, which include writing gigs and his new show on Apple TV for WME/IMG’s Made2Measure channel.
