Fabien Baron: Yes, I look back at those years with immense fondness. Liz truly was an inspiration. But, at the same time, I put a tremendous amount of stress on the staff, probably more than I should have, but they rose to the challenge brilliantly. I remember never feeling satisfied and always pushing for more, but we all felt like we were on a special mission and knew we had to keep pushing.

LC: And the new Bazaar?

FB: Well, I loved Liz and I had a lot of respect for her. I remember at the time, I was only interested in one magazine, Bazaar. So, when the job came along, I grabbed it, but I did my job there and that was it. After I finished the issue of Bazaar that was dedicated in Liz's memory, I left.

LC: How did you leave things with Kate Betts?

FB: I've never had a conversation with her. We've never even spoken on the phone. Kate never called me. I never called her.
