LADYGUNN Magazine Announces New Editor-in-Chief Phil Gomez

Today, popular fashion and music publication LADYGUNN Magazine has announced Phil Gomez as their new Editor-in-Chief. Phil, also known as StyledByPhil, has been a frequent collaborator and influence of the digital/print publication's style and ethos, having directed several covers with the likes of Teyana Taylor, Paris Hilton, Noah Cyrus, King Princess, amongst others. Phil has also produced many projects and events in association with LADYGUNN such as LADYGUNN's 2020 Pride Week, LADYGUNN's 2019 NYFW party with RICO NASTY, as well as helping orchestrate key LADYGUNN brand partnerships with Alexis Bittar, Baby Phat and T.U.K.

Former Editor-in-Chief and Founder Koko Ntuen will stay with LADYGUNN as Founder, continuing to develop the company and work on special projects.

"LADYGUNN stands for authenticity, quality over quantity and representation. I'm beyond honored to be working with one of the leading publications owned by a woman of color and will continue the iconic legacy as a queer Latin artist," said Gomez.

Said Koko Ntuen: "I'm so excited to continue my journey with LADYGUNN and further build our community. LADYGUNN has turned into a creative home for many of us and more than anything I want our house to continue to be a safe space for future generations of artists and creatives alike. Our doors are always open and we love you!"
