Before bidding adieu, Bailey will preside over the opening of a new exhibit at the Louvre’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs, “Harper’s BAZAAR: First in Fashion.”
“With the exhibition opening during Paris Fashion Week, the timing is perfect for a new adventure,” she said. “I’m looking forward to working with brands to find creative solutions and with our global editors to learn about their audiences and devise ways to surprise and delight them.”

In her new role, she will serve as the company’s liaison with the 29 global editions of Harper’s BAZAAR, working with both editorial teams and luxury, fashion, and beauty marketers to develop partnerships and portfolios.
“Glenda Bailey’s Harper’s BAZAAR has been a powerful voice for fashion innovation around the world,” said Hearst President and CEO, Steven R. Swartz. “We are so pleased that she will remain with Hearst as she transitions to a role of global fashion thought leader and brand ambassador for Harper’s BAZAAR.”
