Chloe Malle Takes the Reins at American Vogue
LOS ANGELES — In a groundbreaking move, Chloe Malle has been appointed as the new editor-in-chief of American Vogue, following the departure of the iconic Dame Anna Wintour. This announcement marks a significant shift for the renowned fashion publication, known for its influence and glamour.
At 39 years old, Malle has climbed the ranks at the fashion magazine over the past 14 years, eventually becoming the editor of Vogue.com and the host of the magazine’s popular podcast, The Run Through.
Dame Anna, the British fashion legend, made the decision to step down from her role after an impressive 37-year tenure. Despite relinquishing the editor-in-chief title, she will continue to hold senior positions within the publisher.
Expressing her excitement about her new role, Malle stated that Vogue had already played a significant role in shaping her identity, and now she looks forward to shaping the future of Vogue itself.
Dame Anna praised Malle for her ability to navigate between Vogue’s rich history and its future direction, calling her a mentor and a student in their ongoing collaboration.
With a background as the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and French director Louis Malle, Chloe Malle’s journey to the top of Vogue has been both unconventional and impressive. Starting as a freelance writer, she eventually landed a full-time position at Vogue, steadily rising through the ranks.
Known for her strong editorial instincts, Malle has overseen significant features at Vogue, including exclusive photoshoots and interviews with prominent figures like Naomi Biden and Lauren Sanchez.
Not one to shy away from political discourse, Malle has been vocal in her support for Democratic causes and has used platforms like her podcast to engage in meaningful conversations.
As she prepares to take the helm at American Vogue, Malle acknowledges the unique challenge of following in the footsteps of Dame Anna, who will continue to oversee Vogue’s content as the chief content officer of Condé Nast.
While the exact timeline of the transition remains uncertain, one thing is clear—Chloe Malle is poised to bring a fresh perspective to Vogue, while honoring its storied legacy.
