Ugh. It’s been a blood bath at media giant Conde Nast lately — another huge round of lay-offs went down on Friday afternoon. And I just got word that among the unlucky souls was Leila Baboi, the West Coast market editor for Women’s Wear Daily (WWD.)

Baboi is not only a great young stylist — she cut her teeth working under Flaunt mag’s main fashion man, Long Nguyen, then at hipster music mag URB before landing at WWD — she also boasted, by all accounts, a killer work ethic and major enthusiasm for her work.

But then there’s very little accounting for who gets the axe in this ongoing media massacre.
