With Kelly Baker putting to bed her final issue of SHOP Til You Drop yesterday, Bauer Media is pleased to announce Alissa Thomas has been appointed to the role of editor, effective immediately.
Bringing to the position more than 10 years’ of fashion editorial and commercial experience, Thomas most recently held the position of fashion director at CLEO and DOLLY. She has also made regular appearances on Today Extra (formerly Mornings) as a fashion and style commentator.
Hearst Australia general manager and publisher of Bauer Media’s young women’s portfolio Marina Go is thrilled with the appointment, saying: “Alissa’s passion for SHOP is intoxicating. She has a strong vision for the brand and with a career history in fashion and sales, it would be difficult to find a better background for the role. I look forward to working with her as we refresh the magazine and overhaul the brand’s social media strategy.”
Thomas adds: “I’m thrilled to be taking on this role, and at a magazine I’ve been passionate about since its very beginning. I’m beyond excited to follow in some of my favourite editors’ footsteps and look forward to continuing to create a magazine that has always been a reader favourite.”
