After 37 years shaping the fashion world, Anna Wintour is stepping down as editor in chief of Vogue. While Wintour will retain her broader role at Condé Nast, her longtime stewardship of Vogue is transitioning. Taking on a new leadership role is Chloe Malle, 39, who has been appointed head of editorial content.
Malle has been instrumental in making the magazine’s online content more engaging and accessible to a younger audience. Her podcast, widely praised for its insider perspective, has become a key platform for conversations about fashion and culture.
She is the daughter of Emmy-winning actress Candice Bergen, who once briefly portrayed a Vogue editor on Sex and the City. That connection, paired with Malle’s professional achievements, underscores how naturally she fits into the magazine’s storied world.
Wintour’s support of Malle highlights confidence in her vision for Vogue’s future. The newly created role allows Malle to guide the magazine’s editorial voice at an important moment, as fashion media continues to evolve across digital and traditional platforms.
The transition has already sparked excitement across the fashion industry. Insiders are watching closely to see how Malle will balance tradition with innovation. One thing is clear: Vogue’s next chapter promises to honor its heritage while embracing fresh ideas.
