Born and raised in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, Lindsay People’s passion for fashion started at a young age. She attended Buena Vista University in Iowa, where her ambition and drive led her to a highly coveted internship at Teen Vogue. This start at Teen Vogue would eventually come full circle, shaping her future in ways that would influence the entire fashion industry. Peoples became the editor-in-chief of The Cut in 2021, bringing with her a vision deeply rooted in inclusion and authenticity.

In addition to her editorial role, Lindsay co-founded the Black in Fashion Council (BIFC) in 2020, alongside publicist Sandrine Charles.
