Glamour magazine's longtime Beauty Director
Felicia Milewicz was announced late last fall, the beauty industry started buzzing about who'd be tapped to replace her. This week's grapevine pegs
Marie Claire's longtime Beauty & Health Director
Ying Chu as Milewicz successor at the Conde Nast stronghold.
Shanghai-born British Columbia (that's in Canada, folks) native Chu was named Beauty Director at
Marie Claire in April 2007. She studied fashion at Ryerson University before interning at
Flare, working at
Suede (remember
Suede!?) and later moving onto
Vogue and
Seventeen.
"I have worked hard to get to where I am," Chu
told Chatelaine.com in early 2012, "but I was also very lucky."
We're excited to see what Chu brings to the beauty pages at
Glamour—where the beauty department has, over the past six months, seen the losses of not only its director, but also senior beauty editors Holly Siegel (to Sephora) and Elaine Welteroth (to
Teen Vogue) as well as the departure of beauty assistant Carrie Henderson over the summer.
