BREAKING NEWS: Chloe Malle has just been appointed the new head of editorial content at American Vogue, following the stepping down of Dame Anna Wintour from her daily editorial role. While Wintour will continue to oversee Vogue globally and serve as chief content officer for Conde Nast, Malle’s appointment marks a significant shift in the magazine’s leadership.
Malle, daughter of actress Candice Bergen and French director Louis Malle, will assume her new responsibilities immediately. Previously, she served as the editor of Vogue.com and co-hosted the popular fashion and culture podcast, The Run-Through. Her new role will involve leading the creative and editorial vision of the iconic publication, reporting directly to Wintour.
Malle expressed her excitement over the new role, stating, “Fashion and media are both evolving at breakneck speed, and I am so thrilled – and awed – to be part of that. I also feel incredibly fortunate to still have Anna just down the hall as my mentor.”
In her announcement, Wintour emphasized the importance of this transition, saying, “Fashion is the art of embracing change, but some changes run closer to one’s heart than the rest.” Wintour highlighted Malle’s exceptional capabilities, calling her “a voracious, engaged journalist with an intuition for women’s changing interests,” and praised her understanding of the broader impact of fashion beyond the runway.
With Malle at the helm, Vogue is set to redefine its editorial strategy, navigating the rapidly changing landscape of fashion and culture. The magazine aims to enhance its digital coverage while continuing to engage with its global audience through significant events such as the Met Gala and Vogue World.
As the fashion industry undergoes constant transformation, Malle’s leadership promises to bring fresh perspectives to American Vogue. This development is crucial for readers and fashion enthusiasts globally, as Vogue continues to shape trends and influence the cultural conversation.
