Anna Wintour isn't the only person who got a new job this week. Wintour has hired New York Magazine deputy editor Jon Gluck to be the new managing editor at Vogue.

Gluck (above at left), who had been at New York for a decade, will replace Vogue's longtime managing editor Laurie Jones starting April 8. Jones left the magazine at the end of February after 20 years there. Coincidentally, Jones also came to Vogue from New York, where she'd spent the previous 20 years of her career. (While at New York, Jones hired Wintour as the magazine's fashion editor in 1981.)

Elsewhere in the magazine industry, Joanna Coles, who'd been hard at work restructuring her staff at Cosmpolitan, has hired Shopbop head stylist Aya Yanai as the magazine's fashion director. Michelle McCool, who had been Cosmo's fashion director for 10 years, left the magazine just last month. Yanai has worked in fashion glossies in the past: before Shopbop, she was the senior fashion editor at Teen Vogue and fashion director at Nylon.

Shopbop has revealed plans to start a menswear retail website early next year that will cater to the "cool" guys who are underserved by the current spectrum of men's sites.

A Shopbop spokeswoman told WWD that the site would be "both approachable and serve as a destination to educate and engage guys on fashion and style. While others are serving the fashion converted or the super straightforward, we believe there is an opportunity to serve the guys who live in between these polarities.”

The menswear blog Fourpins broke the news when it discovered a listing for a men's divisional merchandise manager on the Shopbop careers page. The listing describes the target customer as "modern, cool guys who are looking for the fashion that works in his individual style." This means offering an "appropriate mix of designer" options, with high-end contemporary labels and premium denim brands sprinkled in. WWD nodded to Rag & Bone and Alexander Wang as brands that could possibly be featured on the site, so it wouldn't be surprising to see brands that operate in the same forward-thinking ethos, like A.P.C., Mark McNairy, Levi's Made and Crafted, BLK DNM, and John Varvatos, in the mix.

But whatever the site's offering will include, that Shopbop is starting a men's site speaks to its parent company Amazon's desire for a greater market share in the fashion space. Amazon recently started featuring high-fashion model Chanel Iman in its seasonal campaigns, and this month the company announced that it would set up a 40,000-square-foot fashion studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
