Christine Centenera is the new Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Australia magazine.
Centenera, who has worked with the iconic title since 2012, will release her first issue in March 2023.
The stylist and co-founder of fashion label WARDROBE.NYC will report to long-time Editor-in-Chief Edwina McCann, who will continue to stay on as Vogue Australia’s Editorial Director and Publisher.
“After more than 10 years editing the magazine, I am thrilled Christine has agreed to expand her role and look forward to seeing the next chapter of Vogue Australia magazine’s rich history unfold,” McCann said.
“We have worked together for more than 13 years, and Christine is my natural choice to succeed me in this role. While I will continue as the magazine’s editorial director and publisher, this change will allow me to focus on our expanding and successful Prestige publishing business at News Corp Australia, which also includes Conde Nast titles GQ Australia and Vogue Living.”
Centenera will continue to be based between Australia, the UK and the US.
“I love being in close proximity to the extraordinary photographers and people that we work with on the pages – anywhere in the world,” said Centenera.
“Wherever I go, people love Australia, and I’m proud to be an Australian abroad. I’m excited to take on this new role and will work to deliver fresh creativity to the covers of Vogue Australia and across every page of the magazine, championing and nurturing inspiring design and exceptional fashion in Australia and internationally; celebrating interesting people, their achievements and ideas with compassion, intelligence and humour; and naturally exploring gender and always championing diversity and originality. Vogue Australia must always be the authority on fashion and a reflection of the times.”
Other team changes include Vogue Australia’s deputy editor Jessica Montague stepping up as Executive Editor.
“Jessica is an accomplished journalist and team leader who contributes to all our content platforms and campaigns such as Vogue Codes,” McCann said.
“Together these appointments strengthen our local market leadership in the Prestige category, enhance Vogue Australia magazine’s international standing, and usher in a new generation of talented editorial leaders for our business.”
