Your Prom Magazine Dies Quietly


No one seemed to notice when Conde Nast shut down Your Prom magazine earlier this week. Your Prom died quietly, if not in silence, the same day Conde Nast created a giant media buzz ending the publication of Gourmet, Cookie, Elegant Bride and Modern Bride. Turns out Your Prom, from a business hierarchy, was tucked under the bridal titles and once they were gone so was the popular print teen title. (The web site is still up but who knows for how long?!?)

It all came to a close abruptly. The stunned Your Prom staff got less than two days to wrap up their work and be out of the building. We send a huge "Thank you" to the fashion editors and assistants who worked overtime to ship back the plus size Prom dresses from Sydney's Closet they had planned to shoot for the Prom 2010 edition.

Best of luck finding new opportunities to all the talented staffers let go from Conde Nast!
