#GAReads | Harper's Bazaar appoints its first ever black editor-in-chief
“Harper's Bazaar appoints its first ever black editor-in-chief”:
Fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar has appointed a black editor-in-chief for the first time in its 153-year-history.
Samira Nasr, who most recently was the executive fashion director at Vanity Fair, will head the title's US edition from next month, publisher Hearst announced Tuesday.
Montreal-born Nasr replaces the magazine's longstanding editor Glenda Bailey, who announced in January that she was stepping down after almost 19 years at the helm. In a video posted to social media, she described feeling "honored" at being selected for the top job "at this particular moment in our nation's history."
