Condé Nast could merge fashion editors, causing major layoffs

More cuts are🐈 in store at Condé Nast as the publisher is weighing merging the fashion-market editors for Vanity Fair, Glamour and W under one department, sources said.

Right now, each title has its own staff. The combination would inevitably mean major layoffꦚs.

Nobody knows which department will triuﷺmph. Vanity Fair is going to continue to publish 12 issues a year, but Glamour ♎is going to do only 10 next year.

W, which initially said that it would downsize to 10 issues, recently changed that to eight — but ဣwill switch to a heavier and glossier stock.

Glamour Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive quietly broke the news to some of her staff last week so they could get a jump on landing new jobs, sources said. Outgoing Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter appears to be letting his replacement, Radhika Jones, handle the move.

Magazineཧs throughout the Condé family are being asked to chop costs at least 20 percent as part of a companywide effort to shave $100 million in costs next year in a bid to stay profitable.

Carter, Leive and W Editor-in-Chief Stefano Tonchi either could not beꦡ reached or did not retur🅷n calls requesting comment.
