Anna Wintour, who took Vogue to New Heights as the top editor, will remain as Condé Nast’s global chief content director and Vogue’s global editorial director.
Anna Wintour will resign as Vogue Editor-in-Chief after 36 years
Anna Wintour resigned as editor-in-chief of Vogue, which she had served since 1988. She has a global role at Condé Nast.
Nearly 40 years after leading the world’s best fashion magazines, Anna Wintour is now the editor-in-chief of Vogue.
Editor and Style Icon, 75, will step down this year, and the magazine will look for a new head of editorial content as part of a different organizational structure adopted four years ago.
Known for her strict management style and iconic A-frame bob, Wintour remains as Condé Nast’s Chief Content Officer and Vogue’s Global Editorial Director. WWD and Business of Fashion also confirmed the news.
Since its launch with Vogue in 1988, Wintour has been in the front row of the New York Fashion Week Show, directing Met Gala and firmly seated what it considers the shiny pages of magazines as the “fashion Bible” and became synonymous with the high fashion scene.
Wintour revealed its decision to decide on Voguestaff at this week’s editorial meeting.
As Chief Content Director, Wintour oversees the extended family of magazines that exist under the Condé Nast brand, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamor, Bon Appétit, Allure and more. Some magazines have international versions, but Wintour also serves as the main character.
Condé Brands’ ballooning global presence is partly responsible for Wintour’s decision to abandon the reins of Vogue Us as it juggles a large portfolio of online and printed publications.
But American Vogue is a large kahuna, an indelible icon of cultural landscapes. He is responsible for documenting career launches, trending (and killing), and fashion evolution from bell bottom to barrel jeans.
Under Wintour’s careful eyes, Vogue was even more influential with her own singular persona, with her oversized black glasses and cutthroat inspired by “The Devil Wears Prada” to nurture the magazine’s mystique.
Anna Wintour Vogue: What about the Met Gala?
The impact on Wintour’s style is far beyond the Vogue page.
Her stubborn presence as head chair of the Met Gala continues to shape the biggest fashion moments of a particular year. The collaboration between the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the world’s largest design house, hand-picking themes each year, giving celebrities and stylists the opportunity to stand up as well.
Each gala usually brings an honorary chairman in the form of a celebrity host. This year, The The The The The The The The Superfine: Tailing Black Style was inspired by Black Dandyism and collaborated by race car driver Lewis Hamilton, actors Colman Domingo, Rapper A $AP Rocky and Designer Pharrell Williams.
There is no indication that Wintour’s move from American Vogue will translate into different roles at the Met Gala.
Anna Wintole’s final vogue cover
As Wintour moves into a more internationally focused role, all eyes are on the final shiny cover that hits the newsstand with her fingerprints.
American Vogue’s latest cover featured model and makeup tycoon Haley Bieber, whose marriage to pop star Justin Bieber brought her fame to new heights. The summer shoot featured a beaver who recently sold makeup company Lord for $1 billion, yoga, driving top-down, and relaxed by the pool with California bone-dried Joshua Tree dessert.
