Trip Gabriel is an American journalist, best known for his creation, expansion and direction of the Styles sections" of The New York Times.
He worked for various magazines such as Rolling Stone, Outside, and GQ before taking a job at the Times in 1994 as a reporter for the Sunday Styles section. Eventually, he became editor of the section and also worked as the director of fashion news. Under his direction, the once struggling Styles section grew and developed into a multifaceted presentation of fashion, lifestyle, entertainment and celebrity news. Largely due to its success, the section split into two separate issues in 2007 with a separate section on both Thursdays and Sundays.
After 12 years guiding Styles, in February, 2010 Gabriel returned to reporting, covering education, including the series "Cheat Sheet" about academic plagiarism and other cheating by students and teachers. In June 2011 he joined the Times political team covering the 2012 presidential race, following the campaigns of Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

“The Statue of Liberty is meant to be shorthand for a country so unlike its parts that a trip from California to Indiana should require a passport.”

“The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went
Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
And round his heart one strangling golden hair.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
