After months of speculation on who will replace fashion’s most famous editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour has announced a new top editor at Vogue — though the role isn’t quite the same as the golden post Wintour held for almost 40 years.
Chloe Malle, who currently serves as editor of Vogue.com, will step up as the head of editorial content for Vogue US, the magazine announced on its own website on Tuesday. As well as managing the website’s editorial direction in her former role, in 2022 Malle became the voice of Vogue — co-hosting the magazine’s only current podcast, “The Run-Through with Vogue,” alongside Chioma Nnadi, head of editorial content across the pond for British Vogue.
After Wintour announced in June that she was stepping down, or rather, stepping away from one of her many duties, the highly sought-after role — which was even the subject of a viral bet on prediction market app Polymarket — was posted publicly on LinkedIn over the summer.
But the names reportedly in the running were all in Wintour’s close orbit: Eva Chen, who is Instagram’s director of fashion partnerships but worked closely with Wintour for years in top posts at Teen Vogue and Lucky; former Vogue staffer Sara Moonves, who became W’s first female editor-in-chief; and Nicole Phelps, who currently leads Vogue Runway and Vogue Business in a joint global director role.
Although Wintour has stepped down as the magazine’s editor-in-chief, she will remain on as Vogue’s global editorial director, as well as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer, overseeing titles such as GQ, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, Bon Appétit and Teen Vogue.
