Laura is currently Fashion Features Editor at British Vogue and brings strong fashion credentials to her new role.
She was previously Fashion Features Director at Sunday Times Style and has worked at Drapers and Elleuk.com, say the publishers.
London Evening Standard Editor, Sarah Sands, said: "I am delighted to welcome Laura. She is an original talent with real insight into culture and fashion and has clear ideas on bringing them to life on the page. We have a very strong team on ES, and Laura is the perfect figure to lead the magazine into an exciting new phase at the very centre of London life."
Laura Weir said: "I am thrilled to be joining ES Magazine as Editor and intend to lead this already hugely popular title into a new, bold, engaging and exciting direction. It will be a home for agenda setting journalism, and with a renewed focus on fashion, ES Magazine will reflect the capital's status as the world's most dynamic city."
Laura will start her new role in the autumn.
