US Vogue Nears Chloe Malle Succession to Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour is set to step down as editor-in-chief of US Vogue after a remarkable 37-year tenure, and the search for her successor is in its final stages. Chloe Malle, daughter of actress Candice Bergen and French filmmaker Louis Malle, is widely regarded as the frontrunner for the new role of head of editorial content at Vogue, having been a key figure at Vogue.com and well-liked by the editorial staff. Other candidates in contention include Nicole Phelps, global director of Vogue Runway, while notable figures like Eva Chen have withdrawn from the race. The new head of editorial content will not inherit Wintour’s title but will be responsible for all editorial content, marking a shift in leadership style. Meanwhile, Claire Thomson-Jonville, editor of French Vogue and a British fashion veteran, is being discussed as a potential successor to Wintour at US Vogue, highlighting the magazine’s interest in fresh leadership from diverse backgrounds. The final decision is expected before New York Fashion Week in September 2025, signaling a new era for the iconic publication.
