Chloe Malle has been appointed as the new editor-in-chief of American Vogue, succeeding Dame Anna Wintour after 37 years in leadership. This significant transition marks a transformative moment for the iconic fashion magazine as Malle steps into her new role.

American Vogue has announced that Chloe Malle will succeed Dame Anna Wintour as editor-in-chief. Malle, who has spent 14 years rising through the ranks at Vogue, previously served as editor of Vogue.com and hosted the magazine’s podcast. Wintour, a pivotal figure in fashion for decades, will retain significant oversight roles at Condé Nast. In her statement, Malle expressed enthusiasm about shaping the future of Vogue.

Chloe Malle will become the top editor at American Vogue after Dame Anna Wintour stepped aside as editor-in-chief, the publication announced.

The 39-year-old has worked for the fashion magazine for 14 years, rising through the ranks to become editor of Vogue.com and host of the magazine's podcast, The Run Through.

Malle's appointment signals a new chapter for Vogue, one of the most influential fashion publications globally.

Dame Anna Wintour, a British fashion icon, stepped back in June after a remarkable 37-year tenure. However, the magazine confirmed she will remain involved in senior roles with its parent company.

In her announcement, Malle reflected on her journey, stating, Vogue has already shaped who I am, now I'm excited at the prospect of shaping Vogue.

Dame Anna praised Malle for her ability to balance Vogue's rich history with future innovations.

Malle, daughter of actress Candice Bergen and director Louis Malle, began as Vogue's social editor in 2011.

Throughout her career, Malle has not hesitated to engage in political matters and support Democratic causes, including her participation in the Women’s March.

The exact timing of the transition remains unclear, but Dame Anna, who will continue as chief content officer for Condé Nast, will be an ongoing presence at Vogue.
