After almost 2 years as editor-in-chief of Lucky Magazine, WWD recently announced that she’s planning to leave.
Eva Chen was the first Asian-American to hold an editor-in-chief position at Condé Nast Magazine and has now announced her departure via Twitter.
This morning I made the extremely personal and difficult announcement to my team that I will be transitioning from @luckymagazine in the coming months. The brand will continue on and I’ll be leading it into its new chapter. Today/tomorrow/beyond, I’m a #luckygirlforlife. Thank you all for your support on this wonderful adventure I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of.
Over the past two years, Lucky has transitioned from an asset of Conde Nast to a BeachMint properties publication, although Chen regularly met with Wintour over the past two years. Both Chen and Conde Nast have denied rumors of Lucky’s liquidation saying the magazine is still going strong.
