In light of the ongoing developments with the Glamour brand, Jo Elvin has reached the decision that now is the time for her to step down from her role as Editor in Chief, it was announced today by Albert Read, Managing Director of Condé Nast Britain. Having begun her career on the famous teen ‘bible’, Dolly magazine in Australia, and working as a publicist for ‘Neighbours’, Jo left her Sydney home, bound for London with loose change in her pocket and a two-line CV. She has forged a highly successful magazine career, beginning on TV Hits magazine, before being tapped to launch youth titles, Sugar and B, and later becoming the editor of New Woman in 1998.  Jo is regularly called upon by the media for expert comment on all areas relating to the readership of Glamour, and writes regularly for the Daily Mail.  She has won many awards, including Consumer Magazine of the Year and five Editor of the Year Awards from the BSME, including the coveted Editor’s Editor Award.  Jo is also a regular face on television, including ‘Lorraine’, ‘The Apprentice You’re Fired’, and ‘This Morning’. She has also fronted TV shows such as ‘The Great British Hairdresser’ with James Brown and Abbey Clancy for E4. Jo has presented a series of reports on London and Paris Fashion Weeks for BBC Radio 4’s ‘You and Yours’ programme. Jo Elvin remarked “It has been an honour to be Glamour’s editor for 17 years. I’m excited for what lies ahead, for both myself and for Glamour. I wish the new team every success for the exciting new phase of this wonderful, beloved brand.”
