Emmanuelle Alt Named Editor of French Vogue

Emmanuelle Alt has been named the successor to Carine Roitfeld, who announced her departure as editor-in-chief of French Vogue right before the holidays.

Alt, the magazine's fashion director, was the favored choice in the rumors leading up to the announcement and will be the second stylist in a row to helm the title.

Condé Nast France president Xavier Romatet made the announcement in a press conference today, noting that in her new role, Alt will have to use ... the Internet:
"I give her full confidence to embody and lead this demanding brand and to let is live in all of its different dimensions — including digitally."
Alt begins her new job on February 1, and she says she is thrilled. Roitfeld has said she's been in the office working on the March issue

Carine Roitfeld Is Leaving French Vogue!

The editor of French Vogue Carine Roitfeld has resigned after ten years at the helm of the title.
Roitfeld will leave the magazine in January and has decided to concentrate on personal projects.
According to Vogue.com, Jonathan Newhouse, chief executive of Condé Nast International said:”It is impossible to overstate Carine’s powerful contribution to Vogue and to the fields of fashion and magazine publishing. Under her direction, Vogue Paris received record levels of circulation and advertising and editorial success.”
He added:”Vogue Paris has established itself as one of the most iconic magazines in the world, with huge influence in the field of fashion and photography.”
Roitfeld is recognised in the industry for her sassy sense of personal style and directional, yet innately French, fashion choices.

Who is going to replace her?????
