Carine Roitfeld’s New Gig: Carine Roitfeld’s unceremonious departure from French Vogue two years ago wasn't a career-ender in the least. First came the launch of her CR Fashion Book in September, and a MAC Cosmetics collaboration. Now, she’s been named as the global fashion director of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Roitfeld will work side by side with close friend and Bazaar’s US creative director, Stephen Gan, on several stories a year starting with the March 2013 issues, while she continues with her other projects, CR included. Hearst Magazines’ CEO David Carey said of the appointment in a release, “Carine is one of the fashion world’s most influential tastemakers and we look forward to seeing what she does with Bazaar.” [Fashion Beast Inbox]

The items will hit cafés and online on November 13. [Businessweek]
