For the first time in nearly four decades, American Vogue has a new editorial leader. Chloe Malle, 39, has been named head of editorial content for the magazine, effective immediately. She succeeds Anna Wintour, who stepped aside as editor-in-chief after 37 years in June.
Malle, the daughter of American actress Candace Bergen and the late French director Louis Malle, has worked at Vogue for 14 years, most recently serving as editor of Vogue.com and co-host of the magazine’s weekly podcast 'The Run-Through.'
In her new role, Malle will direct the creative and editorial vision of one of the world’s most influential fashion titles. Wintour will continue as chief content officer, overseeing all 28 international editions of Vogue and remaining Malle’s direct supervisor.
Malle steps into a role long defined by Anna Wintour, whose influence has shaped fashion and culture on a global scale. One of the most powerful women in media whom everyone knows and who knows everyone, Wintour is also so much more than the inspiration for 'The Devil Wears Prada.' She may have stepped down, but the impact of her legacy will continue to inspire future generations of fashionistas everywhere.
