French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld surprised everyone in the fashion world today by announcing that after 10 years, she would be stepping down from her position at the magazine. Roitfeld did not give a reason for her departure, though many who know her suspect that Roitfeld did not want to fall into a monotony. Fabien Baron, former creative director of French Vogue, said that Roitfeld is "the type of person who feels that if she's getting into a routine, she's not going to stick around."
Roitfeld, 55, is credited with increasing sales of French Vogue as well as making the magazine more appealing to those interested in fashion. Though once known as being intellectually dense, the magazine is now considered edgier than its American counterpart, frequently featuring nude models and controversial photo spreads.
Roitfeld said that though she plans to stay on board until the end of January in order to complete the April issue, she has no further plans. Those close to the editor, who is a former stylist, predict that she will take more styling jobs or possibly work with a designer.
