    Fashion Director

    Lily Russo-Bah joined Marie Claire UK as Fashion Director in March 2024.

    With over 16 years of experience in fashion editorial and e-commerce across print and digital, she has delivered industry-leading editorial content, creative direction, and social strategy.

    In one of her most prominent roles, Lily served as Fashion Editor for Grazia magazine, where she built a reputation as a successful editor, writer, and stylist, contributing to over 400 issues. Embracing a new challenge, she later founded and led her own luxury online retail business as its Creative Director.

    Now at Marie Claire UK, Lily is responsible for shaping and executing the magazine’s new fashion repositioning and content strategy. She styles main fashion shoots, interviews leading women in fashion for the Women Who Win franchise, and commissions top industry creatives. Lily has a unique ability to filter through the noise and lead the conversation. Her flair for trendspotting and distinctive editorial vision mean Marie Claire UK readers are always one step ahead of the game.

    She is a passionate supporter of female empowerment, diversity and sustainability - all core Marie Claire UK values - and in her new role she is thrilled to be able to support female founders, to highlight the diverse talent in the fashion industry and to give a platform to brands making a positive social impact in the world.
