The magazine giant Condé Nast said on Tuesday that it had found a buyer for the bimonthly fashion title W, one of three publications the company put up for sale last year in the face of significant financial losses that forced it to adopt a series of cost-cutting measures.

The company acquiring W, Future Media, said Sara Moonves, currently the magazine’s style director, would become the next editor in chief. She succeeds Stefano Tonchi, who has held the title for nine years and is leaving W and Condé Nast.

The sale price was not disclosed.

Future Media said in a statement that W’s staff would continue to operate from Condé Nast’s offices at 1 World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan for a transitional period and then would be combined with the staffs of two other titles the company owns, Surface and Watch Journal, “to work collaboratively across all departments.”

“We know that W will serve as a perfect complement to the publications already in our portfolio,” Marc Lotenberg, Future Media’s chief executive, said. Ms. Moonves, he added, “has enormous credibility in the fashion community, not to mention a forward-thinking sensibility that will bring W beyond its core print distribution into various offline, online and augmented formats.”
