Chloe Malle Tipped as Successor to Anna Wintour at American Vogue
Chloe Malle, an internal candidate with a decade of experience at Vogue, is reportedly the frontrunner to succeed Anna Wintour as editor-in-chief of American Vogue[1][2][4]. Malle, who has been with Condé Nast since 2011, currently serves as the editor of Vogue.com[1][4].
Malle's background includes a strong connection to the New York social scene, an Ivy League education from Brown University, and experience in various editorial and writing roles beyond fashion[5][1]. This diverse skill set has made her a notable contender for guiding Vogue into its next era.
Anna Wintour, who has held the editor-in-chief position for nearly 40 years, is stepping down but will retain her role as Global Editorial Director of Vogue and Chief Content Officer at Condé Nast[3][2]. The transition will see Malle reporting directly to Wintour, reflecting an evolution in editorial leadership with Wintour maintaining a high-level oversight role[3][4].
The final stages of discussions for Malle's potential appointment are underway, with a decision expected before the start of New York Fashion Week, which begins on September 11[1][2][4]. Several other candidates remain on the list, but Malle's strong ties to Vogue and her unique blend of tradition and modernity make her a strong contender for the role[5].
The news of Malle's potential appointment was reported by several anonymous sources to Page Six, the gossip page of the "New York Post". Malle's mother, American actress Candice Bergen, has also been mentioned in connection with the transition, as Malle is the daughter of Bergen and the late French director Louis Malle[1][2][4][5].
In summary, Chloe Malle, a seasoned Vogue editor with a diverse background, is poised to take over as the next head of editorial content at Vogue, effectively succeeding Anna Wintour in directing the magazine’s editorial vision, while Wintour maintains a key executive role within Condé Nast[1][2][3][4].
