NEW YORK, United States — Fashion critic Cathy Horyn has resigned from her post at The New York Times. An official statement confirmed the resignation this afternoon stating: "Cathy's reasons for leaving are personal ones, to spend more [sic] with her partner, Art Ortenberg, who has had health problems, and whom she feels would benefit greatly from her increased presence at home."

Horyn joined the newspaper in 1998 and has been in her current position since 1999, where she became one of the most influential voices in the fashion industry with her honest and tough critiques.

Horyn's resignation comes at a time of change at The New York Times, following the exit of her former colleague Eric Wilson (who took up a position at Time Inc's InStyle) and the recent appointments of Matthew Schneier, previously at Style.com, and John Koblin.
