Chloe Malle has been appointed as the new head of editorial for American Vogue, succeeding Anna Wintour who held the position for almost four decades, the magazine announced on Tuesday.
Malle, who is the editor of Vogue.com and co-hosts the magazine’s weekly podcast “The Run-Through,” will be responsible for “leading the creative and editorial direction of the title,” according to the magazine.
She joins the magazine’s 10 existing heads of editorial content around the world and will report to Wintour.
“Fashion and media are both evolving at an incredible pace, and I am thrilled—and humbled—to be part of that,” Malle expressed in a statement. “I also consider myself very lucky to still have Anna nearby as my mentor.”
It was revealed in June that Wintour would be stepping down from her position, although she would remain at Condé Nast. She continues to serve as the chief content officer for Condé Nast and the global editorial director at Vogue.
“When it came to selecting someone to edit American Vogue, allowing me to focus more on Vogue’s diverse growth across its global audiences and publications and events like the Met Gala and Vogue World, I knew I had one opportunity to get it right,” Wintour conveyed to the team at the time, as reported by the magazine.
Since 2011, Malle has been part of Vogue, initially joining as the social editor and subsequently serving as the contributing editor from 2016 to 2023. She has also edited several publications for Vogue.
“At a moment of change both within fashion and outside it, Vogue must continue to be both the standard-bearer and the boundary-pushing leader,” Wintour said. “Chloe has proven often that she can find the balance between American Vogue’s long, singular history and its future on the front lines of the new.”
