Joe Zee
Joe Zee (born November 23, 1968)[1] is an American stylist and creative director of Elle.
Zee was born in Hong Kong and moved to Toronto at 1 year old. He stepped into fashion in 1990, at age 22 and ultimately moved to New York enrolling at the Fashion Institute of Technology.[2]
He was described in a New York Times profile as a leader in the mass market and digital transformation of fashion: "a chatty and approachable ambassador of fashion who has aggressively thrust himself in front of hoi polloi using Twitter, blogs, v-logs and — most visibly — television."[3]
He was a recurring character as boss of the reality series The City.
Zee hosts All on the Line, a fashion series on the Sundance Channel. In each episode, Zee acts a business consultant to a designer who is struggling.[4] He appeared on an episode of Ugly Betty as himself.
