Samira Nasr Taps Three Top Editors To Join The Masthead At Harper’s Bazaar

by Freya Drohan

Samira Nasr, who took the reins at Harper’s Bazaar in July, has been busy adding top-level editorial talent to her team at the fashion bible.

First up, Leah Chernikoff, who reportedly began her role as executive editor this summer. Chernikoff, most recently head of content at Glossier/Into The Gloss, was previously Elle.com’s digital director from 2013-2019. Prior to that, she was the editorial director of Fashionista.com. The Brooklyn-based mom began her career as a features reporter at New York Daily News. It’s not the first time Chernikoff has worked alongside Nasr; before Nasr went to Vanity Fair, she was the fashion director at ELLE. Chernikoff’s role will involve overseeing all editorial content and strategy, and managing the print and digital teams.

Introducing our October cover star, #SarahPaulson, who currently stars in @RatchedNetflix. The actress opens up to @roxanegay74 about overcoming anxiety, finding the space to be fearless, and the singular way she has navigated an industry that likes to put women in neat little boxes. “There was a wish fulfillment, magical thinking, ‘If I could be X, I could have Y,’ ” Paulson says. “The idea that the world worked in this very cut-and-dried way seemed like a way for me to manage my fear. Perfectionism is often a real consequence of being terrified.” See the full story at the link in our bio. ⁣ ⁣ Photographer: @samtaylorjohnson ⁣ Fashion Editor: @paulcavaco ⁣ Hair: @hairbyadir ⁣ Makeup: @adambreuchaud⁣ Manicure: @nailsbyemikudo ⁣ ⁣ Sarah wears @maisonvalentino

Next up to join the masthead is Laura Genninger, who steps into the role of creative director. The position has been empty since V‘s Stephen Gan jumped ship to Elle in 2018. Most recently, Genninger was art director at Another Man and has served as art director at i-D and Atmos. She has also worked extensively on creative projects under her own company, Studio 191, for the past 25 years. A complete new re-design of the print magazine is expected early next year. Genninger will also work across fashion and cover shoots.

In a newly-created position, Kaitlyn Greenidge will join as features director across all platforms. Greenidge, a published author who holds an MFA in Fiction from Hunter College, has previously contributed to The New York Times and Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter. In her new role, Greenidge will collaborate with writers and editors on packages about prevalent societal and cultural issues. Greenidge’s writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Elle, and Buzzfeed, among others. She is the recipient of several fellowships, including the Whiting Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Genninger and Greenidge will begin their roles on November 1. The November issue is also Nasr’s first issue since taking over from Glenda Bailey.

Drew Barrymore wears regular clothes on her show and she looks great, But when she dresses in Designer Clothes she is too Hot to Handle. She knows her diamonds are forever and this clever little Beaver builds her Dam Well Lots of Rings, the ring of Tiffany, And Bells that Bauble and bulge in just the right places. The Races are on and it’s Barrymore out in front always my winner.
