The news is out! Conde Nast has decided to promote current fashion director, Emmanuelle Alt to Editor in Chief of French Vogue. A fan of Alt's work- after all she was behind much of what's been seen from the chic magazine since 2000, I am definitely not loathing this choice. However, I was secretly hoping for some sort of scandal... Anna Dello Russo leaving Japanese Vogue for instance, but I suppose this logical choice is probably the best. Alt in a lot of ways doesn't look the part yet- wearing a lot of moto-jackets and rock-star-chic looks that hardly channel Anna Wintour's severe bob and lady-like ensembles. That said, I too prefer trousers to skirts, and would more happily wear a leopard coat than a boxy tweed cropped jacket. Could it be that Emmanuelle is representative of the new generation of Editors in Chief- an Editor in Chief with an edge perhaps? Stay tuned...
