Editor to a tee - New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan

Folio: The Magazine for Magazine Management, April 1, 1993

Are editors as sexy as models and actors? The Gap seems to think so. The national clothing store's latest ad campaign features none other than the erudite Briton and The New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan wearing a white Gap T-shirt and an impenetrable stare. Hardly a name with mass appeal, he appeared in the February issue of The New Yorker, and the March issues of The Washingtonian and Vanity Fair, and was identified only as "editor/writer." The model wordsmith says through a staff person that he has received many inquiries about his participation in the ad campaign and "has no time to answer questions." The staffer did say Sullivan was paid an undisclosed sum, which he gave to the Washington, D.

C.-based Whitman Walker AIDS Foundation.
