Vogue Names Chloe Malle as Its New Editor
For the first time in 37 years, there is a new editor of American Vogue. Anna Wintour has surrendered the title that transformed her into a titan of fashion and publishing, and handpicked a successor — sort of.
The role now belongs to Chloe Malle, the 39-year-old editor of Vogue’s website and co-host of its podcast, the publication said on Tuesday.
Rather than editor, though, Ms. Malle is the “head of editorial content” — a sign of how much the magazine business has changed since Vogue established itself as fashion’s monthly print bible, ruling the industry with a bejeweled iron fist.
