Last Thursday, shortly after the news broke that Radhika Jones was stepping down as editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, I reported that she had been contemplating her departure for at least a year, and had also been put in a position that made remaining on the masthead untenable—after all, how much more can you do with so much less? Anyway, it seemed like time for everyone to move on from what had never been a great fit. Early whispers in the fashion world, which often has its own preferences about who should inherit these thrones, favored Mark Guiducci, one of Anna Wintour’s next-gen deputies, who manages various projects across the Vogue business. For what it’s worth, I still believe he’s a contender.
