the jaw dropping announcement made last friday that Paris Vogue Editor in Chief Carine Roitfeld was resigning, effective this January, was met with questions of who would take her place, where was she going, and why?

after 10 years at the helm of the magazine, Carine publicly states she is ready to move on to new projects and that she is really a freelancer at heart .it was only time until rumors began circulating. Is she really taking over Anna Wintour’s spot? that has long been denied, yet it comes up again. was she fired for the scandalous shoot with children dressed as adults? is she moving on to work with Tom Ford again?

Really, who cares? Carine is leaving, and although she will obviously go on to bigger and better things (hopefully things her loyal subjects will be able to witness), the french publication will suffer. I’m looking forward to her next move, but wish people would let her do it in her own time.
