"In this newly created position, Chetty will work closely with [ editor-in-chief Suzanne] Boyd, developing fashion direction for both properties as well as producing multi-media content on a range of topics from style and design to luxury and lifestyle to accessible fashion for real people.  " 'Staying current and looking good are essential aspects of positive aging and, with Derick on board, Zoomer becomes the go-to guide for fabulous style at any age,' said Boyd. 'I’m thrilled to be working with Derick again,' she added." (Chetty worked with Boyd when she was editor of Flare.)
