Elle magazine was hit by the resignation of its long-serving fashion director Iain Webb this week.
Hachette Filipacchi, Elle’s publisher, announced Webb would be leaving by “mutual agreement” following the appointment of Elle’s new editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy.
Webb joined the title seven years ago and was instrumental in Elle’s fashion coverage under former editor Sarah Bailey. He is expected to go freelance.
