Is Glenda Bailey Leaving Harper’s Bazaar?

There was a gossipy little item in this morning’s WWD suggesting Glenda Bailey is about to resign from Harper’s Bazaar. “Perhaps Harper’s Bazaar’s Glenda Bailey is on the way out?” writes reporter Zeke Turner. “She has a new counterpart on the business side, hard-charging Carol Smith, who can’t be happy with the magazine’s current numbers and will want to turn the magazine around right off the bat.”

Roberta Myers: Online

Even though Robbie Myers has appeared on more television shows (two) than any other fashion magazine editor-in-chief, she remains much quieter on her opinions and thoughts than certain other editors of certain other magazines. So it was a little surprising when we caught her name in a byline on ELLE.com’s fashion news blog, as “Roberta Read more →

ELLE Accessories Kind of Folds

Ouch. What seems like seconds after the demise of CosmoGIRL!, 02138, and Radar (though we’re not sure that last one counts), comes the news that Hachette is “suspending” publication of ELLE Accessories for at least a year, putting a handful of people out of work during that time. Add to that all the retail lay-offs Read more →
