Bertram Gabriel III also known as Trip Gabriel is an American journalist, best known for his creation, expansion and direction of the Styles Sections of The New York Times. He was born to Helen and Bertram Gabriel Jr. in New York, New York on August 15, 1955. Gabriel attended Phillips Academy in Andover, MA and Middlebury College, where he earned a BA in philosophy. 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 rose to assume the role of head 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 2006 with a separate section on both Thursdays and Sundays. Gabriel currently lives in Westchester, New York.
