Laird + Partners, the ad agency behind some of fashion’s buzziest campaigns, has lost its chief executive, The Post has learned.

Patrick Yee — a former top exec at fashion blog Refinery 29 — was not a great fit and was sacked after just 10 months on the job, sources said, although others emphasized the decision was mutual.

Yee, who had taken over the CEO role from founder, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer Trey Laird, said he was “proud” of the work he did there and that he helped prime the company for its “next chapter,” sources said.

Yee, reached Thursday, declined to comment. Laird didn’t return calls seeking comment.
