In a historic transition, Chloe Malle has been named the new Head of Editorial Content for American Vogue, officially stepping into the role long held by the iconic Anna Wintour. This appointment signals the beginning of a new era for the legendary fashion magazine, while Wintour will continue to serve as Chief Content Officer at Condé Nast and oversee Vogue’s global editions.
At 39, Malle represents a generational shift and brings with her a strong background in digital innovation. Since joining Vogue in 2011, she has played a central role in shaping the brand’s online presence, co-hosting its podcast, and leading successful initiatives that expanded Vogue’s influence beyond print into digital media, audio, and live events.
Her new title differs from the traditional “editor-in-chief” label, reflecting Vogue’s strategy to move toward a more integrated, multi-platform editorial model. Malle is expected to steer the magazine’s content across print, web, video, and social media, ensuring Vogue remains relevant in an increasingly competitive media landscape.
Although she is taking over one of the most influential roles in fashion media, Malle will continue to work closely with Wintour. The long-serving editor has described Malle as someone uniquely capable of balancing Vogue’s rich history with the demands of modern storytelling.
Malle’s appointment comes at a critical moment, just ahead of New York Fashion Week, where her leadership will be under immediate spotlight. Her blend of respect for tradition and vision for innovation positions her as a key figure in shaping the future of Vogue’s legacy.
