Not to be so vicious, but if she's stepping down as the magazine's EIC means that we're getting a new art direction and format then I'm HAPPY with it.
Harper's Bazaar USA right now is too behind from its rival fashion magazine titles in my opinion. It's like it was stuck in the early 2000s in terms of cover photographs (and what pisses me off is that there were other photos that could have made a solid cover but they did not choose it), as well as its rough design.
Hopefully, her successor will be brave enough to take risks and revive HB. For a magazine that uses "the first and last word in fashion" as its trademark, the people who are in charge of it should know how to be innovative.
