Overview

  • Anna Wintour announced on June 25 that she will step down as editor-in-chief of American Vogue, ending her 37-year tenure at the magazine.
  • Condé Nast will retire the editor-in-chief title at U.S. Vogue and appoint a head of editorial content to manage the publication’s day-to-day editing.
  • Wintour will continue as Vogue’s global editorial director and Condé Nast’s chief content officer, overseeing all of the publisher’s titles except The New Yorker.
  • The move builds on a 2021 restructuring that established heads of editorial content in each market reporting to a global director.
  • The incoming U.S. head of editorial content will report directly to Wintour, maintaining her influence as she focuses on broader Condé Nast responsibilities.
