Anna Wintour Steps Down Vogue Editor-in-Chief Chloe Malle Named Successor

Anna Wintour has stepped down as editor-in-chief of Vogue after nearly four decades, appointing Chloe Malle as her successor to lead the magazine's editorial content. Malle, who has been with Vogue since 2011 and recently served as editor of Vogue.com and co-host of the podcast "The Run-Through," will report directly to Wintour, who remains global editorial director of Vogue and chief content officer at Condé Nast. Despite some internal staff discontent due to Malle being labeled a "nepo baby" as the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and director Louis Malle, many acknowledge her competence and dedication to maintaining Vogue's prestige. Malle expressed excitement about shaping Vogue's future while recognizing the challenge of stepping into Wintour's role with her still nearby. The transition marks a new chapter for Vogue, as Malle takes over day-to-day operations amid ongoing high-profile fashion events like New York Fashion Week and the Venice Film Festival. Wintour retains significant influence over Vogue’s global content, ensuring continuity during this leadership change.
