After nearly four decades shaping the voice and influence of American Vogue, Anna Wintour is stepping down from her role as editor-in-chief, but remains Global Editorial Director of Vogue and Chief Content Officer at Condé Nast. The leadership baton is being passed, with Wintour’s successor expected to take over day-to-day operations in time for the upcoming New York Fashion Week.
Chloe Malle, 39, known for her sharp editorial instincts and long-standing tenure at Vogue.com, has been chosen to lead the brand’s editorial direction as the new Head of Editorial Content. Malle’s selection follows a reported competitive process where she emerged as a staff favorite over other notable contenders, including Sara Moonves and Nicole Phelps. Her insider status and grace under pressure made her the logical choice for Anna.
