ACP Magazines today announced that Edwina McCann has resigned as editor of Harper's BAZAAR.
Gerry Reynolds, ACP Publishing Director, said: "Edwina has given us great service over the past three years leading the Harper's BAZAAR team and building an exceptional title. We wish her well in her future career."
Ms McCann will remain in the editor's chair through the publication of the August issue of Harper's BAZAAR.
Mr Reynolds added that ACP had begun the search for Ms McCann's successor and would announce a new editor for the magazine in due course.

Ms Sherborn will be based in Sydney during the transition period and will report to the Harper's BAZAAR Publisher, Robyn Foyster.
