In Style editor Trish Halpin will replace Marie O’Riordan as editor of women’s monthly Marie Claire.
O’Riordan announced in October that she was standing down as editor of IPC’s flagship women’s title after seven years at the helm.
Halpin has been editor of IPC stablemate In Style since September 2006 and will take up her new post at Marie Claire on 2 February, with her successor at In Style yet to be announced by the publisher.
Before editing monthly fashion title In Style, Halpin edited Hachette Filipacchi‘s Red magazine and has been deputy editor of More and the now defunct New Woman.
