Kristen Tauer

Culture Editor & Writer

I'm a New York-based culture editor and writer at Women's Wear Daily, with a background in digital media production.

About Me

I'm a New York-based culture editor at Women's Wear Daily, where I cover the intersections of art, fashion, film, theater, music, and dining. My writing explores the creative forces shaping contemporary culture, from emerging artists to established voices.

My work has appeared in The New York Times, Teen Vogue, Marie Claire, First We Feast, and other publications. With a foundation in digital media production, I bring a multimedia sensibility to cultural criticism and feature writing.
