DUBAI // The editor-in-chief of Vogue Arabia, Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, has reportedly parted ways with the publication after two issues.
The culture website Business of Fashion reported on Thursday that Abdulaziz had been fired.
She was quoted as saying she “refused to compromise” when she felt “the publisher’s approach conflicted with the values which underpin our readers and the role of the editor-in-chief in meeting those values in a truly authentic way”.
The magazine, published in Dubai by Nervora, launched online last summer, and the first print edition hit the shelves in March, featuring a controversial image on the cover of model Gigi Hadid partially veiled.
Abdulaziz was appointed in July. Nervora and Vogue parent company Conde Nast have not released statements, but Associated Press quoted Conde Nast as saying the new editor will be announced "when the time is right".
Abdulaziz could not be reached for comment.
