Chloe Malle Takes the Helm at Vogue America, Succeeding Icon Anna Wintour

Chloe Malle has officially become the new head of editorial content at Vogue America, the world’s preeminent fashion magazine. She succeeds the legendary Anna Wintour, who has been a cornerstone of the publication since 1988 and stepped down last June. At just 39 years old, Malle is stepping into a significant role that shapes the landscape of fashion journalism. Previously, Malle directed Vogue.com and co-hosted 'The RunThrough with Vogue,' a weekly fashion and culture podcast produced by the magazine. While it remains uncertain whether she will continue her podcasting duties, her extensive experience and keen insights into the fashion world are sure to influence her new position. Malle's impressive lineage includes her mother, Candice Bergen, a celebrated American actress, and her father, Louis Malle, a renowned French director. However, it is Malle's professional background that has prepared her for this new chapter in one of the most prestigious roles in the fashion industry. Notably, although Malle will not carry the title of editor-in-chief—an honor Wintour chose not to assign again after her departure—she will be pivotal in guiding Vogue America’s content strategy. Malle will continue to collaborate closely with Wintour, who now serves as the global editorial director, overseeing not only the U.S. edition but also eight other national editions of Vogue. As two influential figures in fashion journalism, their partnership promises to usher in a nuanced evolution for Vogue America, melding the traditional sensibilities established under Wintour’s tenure with fresh perspectives brought by Malle. With Malle at the helm, the fashion community is watching closely to see how her leadership will redefine the iconic magazine and resonate with readers seeking inspiration and insight into the ever-evolving world of fashion.
