What's Happening?
Chloe Malle, currently serving as editor of Vogue.com, is widely regarded as the leading candidate to succeed Anna Wintour as the head of editorial content at US Vogue. Malle, the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and filmmaker Louis Malle, is in the final stages of interviews for the position. The decision is expected to be announced before New York Fashion Week, which begins on September 11. Malle is a popular figure within the Vogue editorial team and has recently conducted high-profile interviews, including one with Lauren Sanchez. Other candidates for the role include Nicole Phelps, the global director of Vogue Runway, although Eva Chen, Instagram's Head of Fashion Partnerships, is no longer considered a contender.
Why It's Important?
The appointment of Chloe Malle as head of editorial content at US Vogue could mark a significant shift in the magazine's leadership and editorial direction. Anna Wintour has been a defining figure in fashion journalism for 37 years, and her successor will have the opportunity to shape the future of one of the most influential fashion publications in the world. Malle's potential leadership could bring fresh perspectives and ideas to Vogue, impacting the fashion industry and its coverage. The decision is also significant for Condé Nast, as it continues to navigate the evolving media landscape and maintain Vogue's status as a leading fashion authority.
What's Next?
The announcement of the new head of editorial content at US Vogue is anticipated before New York Fashion Week. The successful candidate will report directly to Anna Wintour, who will continue as Vogue's global editorial director and Condé Nast's chief content officer. The new leader will not inherit Wintour's title but will play a crucial role in shaping Vogue's editorial strategy and initiatives, including the Met Gala and Vogue World events. Industry insiders are closely watching the decision, which could influence the magazine's future direction and impact the broader fashion media landscape.
