Bonnie Fuller Named Next Editor of Glamour

Posted on August 11, 1998

Bonnie Fuller has been named the next editor-in-chief of Glamour, S.I. Newhouse, Jr., chairman of The Conde Nast Publications, Inc., announced. Fuller succeeds Ruth Whitney, who will be retiring.

"For many years my colleagues Steve Florio and James Truman and I have admired Bonnie's creative achievements at YM, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan," Newhouse said. "We all agreed that she would be the very best editor to follow Ruth Whitney at Glamour."

"I'm very proud to take on this assignment," Fuller said today. "I've been reading Glamour since I was a teenager, and it made a tremendous impact on me. I've always been impressed by the way it's remained contemporary for so long. Its reporting on women's issues is so strong and its coverage of fashion so exciting and relevant that it is, I think, essential reading for the young working woman."

Fuller comes to Glamour from Cosmopolitan, where she has been editor-in-chief since January, 1997. Earlier this year, she was named the 1998 Editor of the Year by Advertising Age. Fuller joined Cosmopolitan in June, 1996, as deputy editor working with longtime editor Helen Gurley Brown. Before her work at Cosmopolitan, Fuller was founding editor-in-chief of the U.S. edition of Marie Claire. Following its premiere in early 1995, Marie Claire was named "Start Up and Launch of the Year" by Adweek and Advertising Age.
