Tuesday, October 27, 2009
(NEW YORK) After a long and storied career at W spanning back to the early 1990s, features director James Reginato has left the magazine, The Daily has learned. Reginato was revered for his exclusive in-depth profiles of society types and royals, often conducted in their elaborate homes that had never before appeared in publication. Despite repeated requests, neither Reginato nor a W representative could be reached for comment at this time. Further layoffs are expected at W next week.
