WWD also has more information about what T will look like under the helm of Deborah Needleman. Basically, all of the demands that Needleman reportedly asked for were granted by the magazine. T is dropping to 13 issues a year, and will be redesigned to be more general interest. WWD speculates that this might put The Times' weekly Sunday mag in a bit of a jam, in terms of getting advertisers, but a spokeswoman for the paper said, "We think there are different advertisers interested in each brand."

We guess time will tell.

She brought on her friend Michelle Kessler-Sanders as fashion director, squashing those Meredith Melling-Burke rumors. She also snapped up former V/V Man editor Jacob Brown as T's new features director. He will replace Armand Limnander, who, as we've already reported, followed Stefano Tonchi to W.

Aliona Doletskaya resigned as EIC of Vogue Russia just last week and they've already found a replacement in former Tatler Russia EIC Victoria Davydova.
