Joanna Nikas
The Cut Deputy Style Editor, ceramicist

Joanna Nikas grew up in Athens, Greece, although her family is originally from Kalamata (“like the olives,” she tells me.) At 18, she moved to New York City to study journalism at NYU, where she now teaches a course on fashion journalism. She is The Cut's deputy style editor, overseeing the site’s fashion, beauty, and shopping coverage. As a hobby, she makes ceramics and works out of a studio in New York City, focusing on vessels. “Everything I make just ends up looking Greek,” she said with a laugh. “Even when I try not to.” Before joining The Cut, she was an editor at the New York Times for ten years, focusing on fashion and wellness. She also worked closely with street-style-photography pioneer Bill Cunningham on editing his “On the Street” videos. She credits Cunningham for her approach to fashion: “He taught me that the most interesting people are not the ones dressed head-to-toe in one designer, but the eccentrics who are outside the shows trying to crash,” she said. “He really loved an oddball.”
