It has now been over a year since Carine Roitfeld left her position as editor for Vogue Paris, and now we're finally seeing her next big project shaping up. Carine is launching her own bi-annual magazine, which is expected to land in September this year. Although the name of the new publication has been kept hush-hush up until now, Roitfeld has finally revealed her chosen title, which isn't as surprising at all - she's named it simply 'CR'. She explains: “The name’s not a big surprise, but oh well.”
She showed WWD a mock-up of the new magazine which she says is “celebration of fashion and creativity” and which will mix already known names with rising talents. Carine is currently searching for new people to work with, which she is finding exciting: “I’m in the middle of searching for new talents, and it’s so exciting and energizing.”
Fashion Media Group, who will publish the magazine commented:
“Carine Roitfeld is one of the most talented editors in our industry. She deserves an editorial platform with which to express herself, and I’m happy to provide one, I hope it will enlighten. I hope it will build bridges not walls. The fashion magazine industry has gotten too political.”
The Mock-Up issue sees Kati Nescher grace the cover which also features the 'CR' intials scribbled across the front in large letters.
