Marie Claire appoints Tom Usher

Marie Claire, the premium fashion glossy, has appointed Tom Usher, as its new creative director.

Tom (pictured) brings extensive experience to Marie Claire, having spent the past five years at Harper’s Bazaar, which he joined in 2007 to help reposition the brand from Harpers & Queen to Bazaar. He has also previously been art director of Arena and FHM.

Marie Claire editor-in-chief Trish Halpin says: “Tom joins Marie Claire at a very exciting time as we head into our 25th anniversary year. He has a great creative vision for the brand, which will build on the fantastic success we have already achieved.”

Tom adds: “Trish has exciting plans for Marie Claire and I'm thrilled that she has asked me to help bring these to life. It's a terrific opportunity to be joining her and her talented team at this time and I look forward to helping to realise her ambitions for the brand."

Tom takes up his new position on Monday 11 February. He replaces Lottie Berridge, who has left after four very successful years at the brand, say the publishers.
