Christy DeSmith


Prior to joining Mpls.St.Paul Magazine as lifestyle editor in January 2009, Christy DeSmith was an editor at the print version of The Rake magazine. Her coverage of fashion, design, nightlife, and art has also appeared in the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, City Pages, American Theatre, and BUST. If she’s not writing, editing, or scavenging for steals on vintage couture, she’s likely out running, swimming, or embarking on an enormously messy screen-printing project at her tiny condo in Uptown.
