Emap Elan has announced that Elle editor Fiona McIntosh is stepping
down to work on ideas for new titles.
The timing of the news, with no permanent successor in place, is
unusual.
An appointment is expected in the new year. In the meantime, deputy
editor Margi Conklin and fashion director Iain Webb will co-edit the
magazine.
During her three years in the role, McIntosh has consolidated Elle's
sales lead over fashion rival Vogue and has been voted editor of the
year by both the PPA and the British Society of Magazine Editors.
McIntosh's move may see the re-emergence of Red Interiors - a new
project which has had no leader since Kath Brown moved to IPC to become
associate editor of Marie Claire.
