RD Recap: Glenn O'Brien Comes to Maxim; Nylon Gets New EIC

Glenn O’Brien, who had been GQ’s Style Guy before being replaced in August, moves to Maxim, where he’ll be editor at large. Despite the title, indications are that he’s essentially replacing the ousted Kate Lanphear as editor in chief. “Men’s magazines are more juvenile now. It’s like 12 ways to decorate your dorm room. I want to do something for a more mature audience,” O’Brien tells WWD. That is basically what Lanphear wanted to do as well, but perhaps O’Brien will have more success.
