resignation for the nation



Weep, Dasha Zhukova and now Carine Roitfeld have within the space of a month each resigned from their roles as Editor in Chief at Pop Magazine and Paris Vogue respectively. My, oh, my. I'm never great with change, maybe this should be seen as an opportunity for each to go on and indulge in some new and exciting projects. Roitfeld, who has been at the helm of Vogue Paris for a decade I can understand slightly more (itchy feet and all that..) but Zhukova has been at Pop for less than two years and as a die hard of Pop Magazine under the leadership of Katie Grand before her, Zhukova's Pop actually surpassed my love for Grand's and I was really enjoying the different direction the publication was taking. Dang. Will be interesting to see what 2011 has in store for these two magazines. In honour of two of my favourite fashion publications and their Editors, here are two of my favourite editorials from each. 'Jasper and Zippora Seven + King and Justine Crawford are Brothers and Sisters' from Paris Vogue November 2007. And 'The Channels' from Pop Magazine Fall/Winter 2009.

I think Dasha was GREAT for Pop, but then who knows how much of its newly found greatness was because of her. Probably not very much.

This post just reminded me of my infinite love for Bruce Weber. Merci!

Zhukova at POP was really too short it's a pity, something very interesting was shaping.
I'll miss Carine at VP too. Maybe she couldn't bring anything new anymore to the mag so why not hoping for some fresh air. But she built something amazing out of it. An image.
happy holidays !
