Carine Roitfeld leaves Vogue Paris *Update* Emmanuelle Alt named new Editor-in-Chief

[LUXXX]

I'm not familiar with Virginie Mouzat, why is everyone praising her, why do you think her work is great or/and that she's qualified to replace Carine ? just curious because I've never seen her work and I can't find it on TFS, although she has a topic.

Jezebel has a write up on her...she seems like quite the character. But seems to be more literary than fashion oriented, which could be interesting for VP as well.

 

[holaloha]

She will be missed! So sad... ive always admired her work and great dedication.

magazine would be flooded with stories on Michael Jackson and Flashdance every month and Daria would have 5 covers a year and Iselin, Isabeli, Natasha and Raquel would take turns appearing on the other five.

Hey, hey, hey! Sometimes we might get Kate and Anja!!!

I wonder if they'll surprise us and the editor will be neither Emmanuelle or Virginie.

If Emmanuelle takes over than at least people can breathe a sigh of relief that VP won't become what has happened to Vogue Russia.

sorry, what happened to ogue Russia? i use to have a look in the store, but i never swa it again. Thanks!

 

[dizzytacks]

Alex White!!!!!! or at least i hope!

 

[cottonmouth13]

Alex White!!!!!! or at least i hope!

That'd be totally AWESOME! But it's IMPOSSIBLE.

Alt = Carine 2.0

or more like Alt = Carine 1/2.0

seriously, i'd rather see @bryanboy become editor in chief #vogueleaks haha

 

[CrisGalaxy]

I hate changes

 

[Thefrenchy]

^Changes are good when they're for the better...

 

[KKnardi]

I hate changes

then fashion is nothing for you.

^^ in spanish we say "verdades como puños" ('truths like fists')

 

[tentalicious]

That'd be totally AWESOME! But it's IMPOSSIBLE.

Why Alexandra is impossible
Personally, I think Alt's styling is clean but forgettable.

 

[Chanelcouture09]

Poor Emmanuelle can't win with you guys, i personally think she's the right woman for the job, but you will all moan about the magazine if it became what Russian Vogue has become lately with a new editor at the helm, as the saying goes 'better the devil you know'.

 

[Pedro]

^ loooool

We all have this preconception about Alt always repeating the same styling ideas but if you look better at her stories from 10 years ago you will see how diverse and great they were! I have the impression that somehow these vogue paris girls (Alt & Sauvé) were unhappy, repressed and prisoners of Roitfeld... this was a magazine where just Carine wanted to shine...

Go to Carine thread and show me a picture where Alt and Carine are together and where Alt is smiling... should be very rare...

 

[Chanelcouture09]

^Emmanuelle doesn't smile for Camera's most of the time, she usually poses for them.

i think you might be alittle bit right there, i think the magazine wouldn't change all that much, i think Emmanuelle's styling might get alittle more diverse though, her styling has always had the same aesthetic, a more wearable approach, but it's never been repeated, its just wearable versions of various trends over the years, she isn't as 2D as everyone thinks she is.

 

[ALAUU]

I'm curious to know who Anna Wintour thinks should be the new editor of VP. It's highly likely that she has been asked who she would recommend because I can't imagine that the people at Conde Nast wouldn't be interested in her opinion.

 

[saann]

Just because you style in "only" one way doesn't mean you'll run a magazine that way as well. It takes a certain maturity to include a varieties of different styles and if Alt possesses that maturity I don't see why she wouldn't make a great editor. There's a whole different set of motivations to editing a magazine than when you're working as a stylist, as well as there being more people involved in the working process.

If Alt will become editor I'm sure we'll see a different kind of Vogue Paris than the one people would be expecting.

 

[Dkammern]

^^ she wouldnt make a great editor but not because of how she styles. you said

"Just because you style in "only" one way doesn't mean you'll run a magazine that way as well"

but it's actually much more simple than that: just because you style, that doesnt mean you'll run a magazine.

vogue is a very big business! it's a publishing beacon not just for fashion, and the publishing business is going through its toughest moment ever!
vogue, the nyt, the guardian, le monde, time magazine... you name it! all of them are seeing their business model change for the first time in the last 200 years (ads=$=goodjournalism=printingpages=sellingcopies=ads=... ad eternum)

Leaders are defined by the circumstances around them. Carine has been a good leader in the past decade, and they just shouldnt put someone like her to run the magazine now like they did 10 years ago, because what the magazine needs now is different.
I'm not saying Emmanuelle CAN'T do a good job, but if she is up for it, then it's plain gambling for Conde Nast. Things can go right, or they can go completely wrong, and as I said a few pages back, there's a thick stack of other titles in the newsstand, waiting for their moment to claim they are the Paris' (the fashion capital's) best selling title. a moment of weakness chez vogue, and they will sure take advantage of it.

It's not only about capitalist crap like "money talks money talks money talks" (though it is too), it's basic organizational theory, it's managing people down to its essence.

And before you jump at it, I know there is a publisher, and I know what its job is and what he does to put together the issues and work out the numbers, but as the "face" of the magazine, and the person who has a saying in all content, the medium, et al the editor in chief should know a thing or two more than putting clothes together.

Giovanni Bianco tweeted that it will be announced TODAY, who will take the place of Carine. He says it will be either Emanuelle Alt or Katie Grand, or maybe someone from French Marie Claire, if they want to go commercial.

Na Vogue Francesa hoje esta um nervosismo so! Hoje sera anuciado oficilamente quem vai ficar no lugar da Carine Rotfield! Bafo!

Emanuelle Alt ou na Kate Grande! Sei la! Talvez algumas das elle o marie claire francesa! Se eles quiserem fazer algo mais comercial

Translation by Google Translate

In French Vogue this one today so nervous! Today will be anuciado oficilamente who will take the place of Carine Rotfield! Breath!

Emanuelle Alt or Katie Grand! I know it! Perhaps some of the marie claire him the French! If they want to do something more commercial

 

[t-rex]

It sounds like he's betting it's Alt or Grand, not based on fact
