Elle appoints The Australian’s Damien Woolnough as deputy editor

The Australian’s fashion editor Damien Woolnough is to be deputy editor of Bauer Media’s soon-to-launch Elle Australia.

Woolnough, moved into the role on The Australian in May 2001 after three years as editor of Vogue’s website.

The move comes only a week after Shop Til You Drop’s editor Justine Cullen moved to Elle as editor and Woolnough will start at the end of April.

“Having worked on some powerful media brands, the opportunity to be a part of the Elle Australia team was irresistible. Elle appeals to women who love fashion, understand luxury and appreciate intelligent and exciting content,” Woolnough said in a press release.
