Stephen Gan denies that he’s been fired from Elle — regardless of what WWD says.
The fashion news outlet reported that Gan’s “on his way out” as creative director of Elle after he was accused of making racist and sexist remarks while he was working for V magazine, where he is editor-in-chief and creative director.
But he insisted to Page Six on Wednesday, “I am still at Hearst, serving as creative director of Elle, and currently working on the September issue.” He blamed “vicious rumors that say otherwise.”
He’s also still at his job at V. The news comes after fashion watchdog Diet Prada posted accusations of Gan’s alleged racial insensitivity and misogyny at V. Gan wrote on V’s Instagram page, “If there have been occasions where I inadvertently made anyone feel unworthy, I apologize for that.”
