Overview

  • Chloe Malle, editor of Vogue.com and daughter of Candice Bergen and Louis Malle, is reported to be in the final rounds of interviews for the new head of editorial content position at US Vogue.
  • The redefined role replaces the traditional editor-in-chief title and will report directly to Anna Wintour, who remains Vogue’s global editorial director and Condé Nast’s chief content officer.
  • Condé Nast has narrowed its shortlist to a handful of contenders, including internal candidate Nicole Phelps and several external prospects.
  • Major outside contenders such as Instagram’s Eva Chen and W magazine owner Sara Moonves are no longer believed to be viable due to existing commitments and conflicts.
