Currently the executive fashion director of Vanity Fair, Samira Nasr promised to “give all voices a platform and tell stories that would never have been told” at Harper’s Bazaar

Samira Nasr, currently the executive fashion director of Vanity Fair, will assume the role in July. Nasr, who was born in Montreal and is of Trinidadian and Lebanese descent, is the first person of color to edit the magazine. She joined Vanity Fair in 2018 and had previously served as fashion director of fellow Hearst title Elle.
With her appointment, one of the oldest and most historic fashion magazines — Bazaar dates back to the 1860s — gets a new name at the top of the masthead after nearly two decades. Glenda Bailey, Nasr’s predecessor in the role, brought a plummy levity to the magazine , in contrast to its larger, more imperious chief rival, Vogue. Bailey, who was named editor-in-chief of Bazaar in 2001, stepped down at the beginning of the year to become a global consultant for Bazaar’s 29 international editions.
