Randy Minor, formerly design director at ELLE, has been named art director at New York Magazine…Anne-Marie Guarnieri, formerly senior beauty editor at Allure and Allure.com, has been named EIC at xoVain…Scott Havens, formerly president at Atlantic Media, has been named SVP of digital at Time Inc…Fran Hauser, formerly president of digital at Time Inc., has left the company…

InStyle has a new addition to its powerhouse sales team: Leslie Farrand has been named associate publisher, advertising at the Time Inc. title. Farrand comes to the glossy from New York, where she’s been for the past 10 years. Her most recent title at the weekly-gone-biweekly title was executive director of print and integrated sales.

Charlotte Stockdale, formerly fashion director at i-D, has been named fashion director at Garage…Kurt Soller, formerly features editor at New York’s The Cut, has been named deputy editor Bloomberg Businessweek’s Etc. section…Isabel Wilkinson, formerly fashion and arts editor at The Daily Beast, has been named senior editor at New York’s The Cut…Martha Nelson, formerly editor-in-chief at Time Inc., has left the company…

A surprising departure of a Time Inc. superstar: the company is saying farewell to its editor-in-chief, Martha Nelson. The illustrious magazine veteran has spent two successful decades at the company, during which she founded InStyle in 1994. The glossy’s launch was an industry home run, shaking up newsstands with its celeb-centric approach to fashion and lifestyle coverage. With Nelson’s departure, the role of Time Inc. editor-in-chief will be discontinued.

InStyle has made quite the hiring coup: Eric Wilson will join the Time Inc. title on November 18 as fashion news director, which is a newly-created position at the mag. Wilson has been a beloved fashion voice at The New York Times for the past seven years, serving as a Styles desk reporter as well as co-shouldering the critic role with Cathy Horyn. Before joining The Times in 2005, Wilson was at WWD.

For the new publisher of the staggeringly weighty InStyle, the fashion beat is no strange territory to Karin Tracy. Neither is Time Inc. stardom, which came to her in the form of publisher titles at People StyleWatch and Entertainment Weekly, after a brief stint at InStyle as former publisher Connie Anne Phillips’ right hand. As for the pressure factor? She’s loving every minute.

Condé publisher shuffles alert! After InStyle publisher Connie Anne Phillips parted ways with the Time Inc. title last month, word had it that Phillips would be returning to her old 4 Times Square stomping grounds, where she spent an impressive 14 years at Vogue. The rumors are true: Phillips will become part of the Condé crowd once again on July 8, when she assumes the role of VP and publisher of Glamour. Phillips’ predecessor, Bill Wackermann, most recently held the title of EVP and publisher at Glamour; he’s helmed the glossy’s publishing team since 2004. Wackermann will now move to Conde Nast Traveler to fill the shoes of Carolyn Kremins, who segued over in to fellow Condé property Epicurious.com last week.

Publicists are coming up with more and more clever ways to attract editors to press previews. A British PR firm is offering editors complimentary rickshaw rides to cart you to and from the office, Factory PR is wooing us in with a free class at SoulCycle, and United Nude sent us back to the office in this (pictured) ’80s graffitied stretch limo they shipped from Florida.

Vivacious doesn’t even begin to describe the publishing powerhouse that is Connie Anne Phillips, who’s been keeping InStyle (way, way) atop the glossy pile over the past four years. The Vogue alum invited us into her splashily decorated office to discuss her secrets… InStyle’s been booming since you arrived in 2009! What’s the trick?
