It’s Sunday Styles reporter Dave Itzkoff’s last day at the section, but he won’t be going far. After a two week break — in the midst of fashion season, no less — he’ll be returning to be a reporter on The New York Times‘ culture desk.

In the past months, Martin Arnold, Bob Candela and Wendy Sclight have left their staff positions on the culture beat (Arnold has a contract to continue writing), so there’s plenty of room for man-about-town Itzkoff.

His goodbye-for-now email after the jump.

Actress Lauren Hutton sounds off at Thursday night’s fashion show/launch event for Be EcoChic at Manhattan’s Museum of Natural History

Merry Fashion Week! Like the Halloween decor we saw at our local drugstore in July, the sartorial smorgasbord seems to start earlier and earlier each year — in fact, related events have been underway since early this week.

In other words, there’s no time to waste. If you’re perplexed about which of your PR pals you should be bombarding with compliments about their pretty blow-outs, or state-of-the-art headsets in hopes of gaining access, our natty-dressing brother blog PRNewser has the breakdown of which PR firms handle which designers and their shows this season. Go forth and brown-nose with the best of ‘em.

As we reported on Wednesday, there’s been some confusion about the role of outgoing Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S.’s CEO Jack Kliger. Is he the chairman, as we thought? Or is he getting the boot from Elle’s publisher?

Anne Janas, SVP of corporate communications at HFMUS, emailed the following explanation:

For clarification on Jack Kliger’s role at Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S., he is senior advisor to HFM U.S. president and CEO Alain Lemarchand through the end of the year.

Just as we suspected.

Also at HFMUS, Jack Grant, previously the vice president and publisher of Home, is the company’s new VP, integrated sales.

Kliger’s letter after the jump.

On Tuesday, we illustrated a post detailing ProPublica’s final staffing hires with a picture of Ron Burgundy’s crew. After seeing the item, one of company’s staffers improved upon the image — presumably between in his or her spare seconds between bringing down Microsoft and taking on Fox News. It made us laugh, so we’re running it. No matter what Vulture thinks, you can never, ever have too much Anchorman.

Last night, Evan Serpick, previously an associate editor at Rolling Stone where he covered the decline of the record industry, sent an email to colleagues announcing he’ll be returning to his hometown of Baltimore to be a senior editor at the city’s namesake publication. The move shouldn’t come as a surprise considering he ended the first paragraph of a “Best of Baltimore” blog post for RS’s Capri Lounge with the sentence “Baltimore rocks!”

At Baltimore, Serpick will edit all parts of the mag. He’ll continue to freelance for RS, Spin and Blender, and gets bonus points for a great email subject line (”Gathering No Moss…”).

It’s a tumultuous time for Jann Wenner’s signature publication, which is in the midst of size decrease and a publisher switch.
