The departure of Patrick McCarthy from W magazine, and the arrival of Stefano Tonchi as editor-in-chief, also marks the end of Countess Louise J. Esterhazy, the nom de plume of John Fairchild, 83, whose father created Women's Wear Daily and a stable of other trade journals. Reclusive Fairchild, who stepped down as publisher when he turned 70, continued writing his scathing observations on the death of high society on the last page of W each month. The magazine has a compendium of Louise's wit and widsom in the June issue, including, "To me, [Nicole Kidman] looks like an overdressed kangaroo" (2004). And,...

Stefano Tonchi is trading T for W. From PatrickMcMullan.com. Earlier today, Vanity Fair’s parent company, Condé Nast, announced that Stefano Tonchi will be the editor in chief of W magazine. Until last week, W was a part of Fairchild Fashion Group, the trade-based group that also contains W.W.D. under the Advance Publications umbrella. As a Fairchild title, W was E.I.C.-less, instead topping its masthead with Patrick McCarthy, the chairman and editorial director of Fairchild.
