Clippings: Fern Mallis Steps Down from IMG Edition

- Fern Mallis, the senior VP of IMG and the head of all things New York Fashion Week since its genesis 18 years ago, today announced she's stepping down from her post to start her own consulting company. The timing of the move is no coincidence: "When we were planning the move to Lincoln Center, it felt like closure, like the end of the cycle," she told WWD. Ex-Vogue director of special events Stephanie Winston Wolkoff already has the title of Fashion Week Director for this September's shows, but needless to say, the tents just won't be the same without Mallis.
