Movement Starts at Condé

taylor tomasi to nina garcia.jpgIt sounds like Vogue’s landed high on McKinsey’s priority list.

Condé Nast brought in the consultants just a couple of weeks ago, with the promise that significant changes (other than firing every secretary in the building) wouldn’t be made for at least a couple of months.

But they’ve already prepared a focus group just for Vogue. Readers were asked to take a survey to gauge their qualifications and then a select few were chosen to participate in more written surveys as well as in person interviews and round table discussions about the magazine starting next week.

Meanwhile, in other Condé Nast news that has nothing to do with McKinsey, we hear Taylor Tomasi Hill, Teen Vogue’s Accessories Editor, is leaving the Sartorialist’s dream team for Nina Garcia at Marie Claire. And as of right now, Teen Vogue won’t be replacing Tomasi.

So am I correct in interpreting that Teen Vogue will be doing without an accessories editor? And what will Taylor be doing at Marie Claire?

Perhaps it's time for a second cup of coffee, but I find this post to be confusingly written. Also, Nina Garcia has been at Marie Claire for more than four months... I think it's almost a year by now.

That's intresting! Especially since I bought my first Marie Claire ever! The mag reminds me of how Harpers used to be. I was really surprised I just glancing through it at the grocery store and ended up buying it. I used to think of Marie Claire as a mumsy magazine but that is not the case now.

Is that what those stupid Vogue Insider surveys I ignored in my inbox were for? I regret deleting them now.

Well, I sincerely hope that the changes will be quality, not quantity. I don't want to see a lot of budget or job cuts just for the sake of appearances.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. :)

I've always thought that accessories editors were a bit superfluous to begin with.

Why pay a hefty salary when you can hire another assistant to help you sort through shoes, bags, and jewelry?

That's why In Style let their AE go, and are now spending that money elsewhere.
