After stepping down as editor-in-chief of Vogue back in June, Anna Wintour has appointed her successor, naming Chloe Malle as the new head of editorial content of American Vogue.
Malle, who is currently the editor of Vogue.com and co-host of the brand's weekly podcast, The Run-Through, starts effective immediately and will lead the creative and editorial direction of the title. She now joins Vogue’s 10 existing heads of editorial content around the world, reporting to Anna Wintour.

"When it came to hiring someone to edit American Vogue, letting me turn my attention more intensely to Vogue’s multifaceted growth across its global audiences and publications and events like the Met Gala and Vogue World, I knew I had one chance to get it right," Wintour told team members.
"At a moment of change both within fashion and outside it, Vogue must continue to be both the standard-bearer and the boundary-pushing leader."
"Chloe has proven often that she can find the balance between American Vogue’s long, singular history and its future on the front lines of the new."
"I am so excited to continue working with her, as her mentor but also as her student, while she leads us and our audiences where we’ve never been before," she said.
Malle began working at Vogue in 2011, when she was named the title’s social editor, leading all wedding and social coverage and contributing across a wide range of topics, including fashion, politics, homes and gardens, beauty, and health.
From 2016 to 2023, Malle was a contributing editor to the magazine, writing features, overseeing special projects, and working as a sittings editor. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, WWD, and more.
"Fashion and media are both evolving at breakneck speed, and I am so thrilled—and awed—to be part of that," said Malle via a statement published on Vogue.
"I also feel incredibly fortunate to still have Anna just down the hall as my mentor."
"I’ve spent my career at Vogue working in roles across every platform – from print to digital, audio to video, events and social media."
"I love the title, I love the content we create, and I love the editors who create it. Vogue has already shaped who I am, now I’m excited at the prospect of shaping Vogue," she said.
