Chloe Malle to Lead American Vogue

Chloe Malle will become the new editor-in-chief of American Vogue after Dame Anna Wintour stepped down from her role as the magazine’s editor-in-chief, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

The 39-year-old, daughter of actress Candice Bergen, has worked her way up in the fashion magazine world over the last 14 years — becoming the editor of Vogue.com and hosting the magazine’s podcast The Run Through.

Malle’s appointment marks a new era for the magazine, considered one of the most influential and glamorous fashion publications in the world.

Wintour announced in June that she was stepping down after 37 years in the role. However, the magazine said she will remain in senior positions within the publishing house.

During her time at Vogue, Malle was reportedly behind securing the magazine’s photoshoot with Naomi Biden for her White House wedding in 2022, and an interview with Lauren Sanchez ahead of her marriage to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

Before joining Vogue, Malle covered real estate for the New York Observer. Her freelance work later led her to a permanent role as social editor at Vogue in 2011.

“I was hesitant during the interview process because fashion wasn’t one of my main interests in life, and I wanted to be more of a writer than an editor. But I was so intrigued by the inner workings of Vogue that I couldn’t resist,” Malle told Into the Gloss in 2013.

Like her predecessor Dame Anna, Malle has not shied away from politics during her time at Vogue.
On social media and through her podcast, she has supported Democratic causes and candidates.

In a 2024 episode of her podcast, released after Donald Trump was re-elected president of the U.S., Malle expressed her disappointment with the election results.

It is still unclear when the exact transition from Wintour to Malle will take place, but the 75-year-old is not completely stepping away.

Dame Anna will remain as Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast, a role she was appointed to in 2020, which means she will still oversee Vogue’s content along with other company titles like GQ, Wired, and Tatler.
