Hearst's Harper's Bazaar Names Global Director

Carine Roitfeld has kept busy since departing French Vogue in January 2011: In the past month alone, the famously smoky-eyed editrix has launched her own magazine, CR Fashion Book, and a makeup collection with MAC cosmetics. Now, Roitfeld is adding another project to her plate. Hearst Magazines announced today that Roitfeld, the former editor of Vogue Paris, was named global fashion director of Harper’s Bazaar. In the newly created position, Roitfeld will work with Stephen Gan, creative director for Bazaar’s U.S. edition, to produce “several stories a year” and oversee covers across all of the magazine’s 26 international editions, beginning in March 2013.
