Harper's French import?

Conspiracy-minded fashion folk are buzzing about the rumor that French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld is being wooed by rival Hearst Magazines to jump ship to Harper's Bazaar.
Roitfeld could head a new British version, or take over in America. A move to the United States would make sense for Roitfeld, who has a daughter attending school in New York.
But the fiercely avant-garde fashion editor enjoys unparalleled creative freedom at Vogue, thanks to a cozy relationship with Condé Nast International chairman Jonathan Newhouse - as illustrated by a controversial picture in the current issue of a girl picking up dog poop. "You'd never see Anna Wintour running a photo like that," says an insider. "But [Newhouse] said he will not back down from giving Carine whatever creative freedom she wants, as whatever she wants is undoubtedly the right thing."

Why would she give up French Vogue for American Bazaar?

You have to wonder if these people do their homework. There already is a British version of Harpers Bazaar and I think Lucy what's her name is doing a good job.

Like Fabulyss said you would be stupid to go from French Vogue to US Harpers. It just doesn't make sense.

This may be self serving on my part, but Carine taking over at Bazaar may not be so bad...Bazaar is much cheaoer then French Vogue. But, if she wont have creative control then she should stay put.

She could re-makeover bazaar and make it better. However, subscribers who like bazaar as it is might jump ship and leave carine to blame.

Last picture).
