Chloe Mal has been named the new director of Vogue’s editorial content
Chloe Mal will take over the leadership of trend editors once Anna Wintour resigns in 37 years.
Chloe Malle replaces Vogue Magazine’s Anna Wintour.
Wintour edited the Vogue website, edited the “The Run-Sthrough” podcast and tapped Malle, the outlet’s lead as head of editorial content. After 37 years at the helm of the world’s most famous fashion periodicals, Wintour announced in June that he would resign from his editorial role.
“Some people who are interested in this job know that Anna was reluctant to the idea of going down the hall. I’m so happy that she’s down the hall with Clarice’s cliff ceramics,” Marle told the New York Times in a story released on September 2nd.
The 39-year-old is also the daughter of Emmy-winning actress Candice Bergen’s “Murphy Brown” fame, and also won an Oscar nod for 1979’s “Start Over.” Bergen also played the editor of Vogue in the early Ash sitcom Sex and the City.
Malle first joined Vogue in 2011 as an editor in the functional department and later contributed to the editorial role. Her transition to her main editorial role lies in the shift in journalism as the magazine pivots to establish new ways to grow among Gen Z consumers while retaining the presence of the magazine.
Wintour (known for her strict management style and iconic A-frame bob) remains in her current role as Chief Content Manager at Condé Nast and Global Editorial Director for Vogue.
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.
