Vogue Names Chloe Malle as New Head of Editorial Content

September 3, 2025 - American Vogue announced today that Chloe Malle, 39, has been appointed Head of Editorial Content, succeeding Anna Wintour, who is stepping down after nearly four decades at the magazine’s helm.

Malle joined Vogue full-time in 2011 following a stint at the New York Observer and various freelance assignments. Over her 14-year tenure, she most recently served as editor of Vogue.com and co-host of the magazine’s podcast, The Run-Through. She has overseen high-profile features including a Naomi Biden wedding shoot and an interview with Lauren Sanchez.

The daughter of actress Candice Bergen and filmmaker Louis Malle, Chloe Malle brings a blend of journalistic rigor and digital innovation to her new role. In the statement announcing her promotion, Condé Nast emphasized Malle’s ability to balance Vogue’s storied history with the demands of today’s rapidly evolving fashion and media landscape.

Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-chief since 1988, will relinquish her U.S. editorial duties to focus on Condé Nast’s global growth initiatives and major events such as the Met Gala. Wintour will remain Global Editorial Director of Vogue and Chief Content Officer at Condé Nast, ensuring her continued influence over the brand’s strategic direction.

Wintour’s departure from day-to-day editorial management marks a rare leadership transition at a title she defined for nearly 40 years. Under her guidance, Vogue became synonymous with both high fashion and cultural commentary, and the Met Gala evolved into an internationally watched spectacle.
