Overview

• Wintour told staff on June 25 that she will step down from leading American Vogue, ending a tenure that began in 1988.
• She will retain her positions as global chief content officer at Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue.
• Condé Nast has introduced a ‘head of editorial content’ role to oversee day-to-day U.S. Vogue operations and has launched a search for the first appointee.
• Under Wintour’s leadership, Vogue expanded beyond fashion into pop culture and technology and transformed the Met Gala into one of the world’s premier cultural events.
• This move builds on a 2020 portfolio expansion that gave her oversight of Condé Nast brands such as Wired, Vanity Fair and GQ and reflects a broader company restructuring.
