Chloe Malle Emerges as Frontrunner for Vogue’s New Head of Editorial Content

Industry insiders report the Vogue.com editor is in final interviews for the post ahead of New York Fashion Week.

Overview

  • Anna Wintour stepped down as U.S. Vogue’s editor-in-chief in June after 37 years but will retain her roles as Condé Nast’s chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director.
  • Condé Nast retired the traditional editor-in-chief title for the U.S. edition and established a head of editorial content role that reports directly to Wintour.
  • Sources say Malle, who joined Vogue in 2011 and was named an editor in 2023, is a staff favorite and has overseen digital strategy as Vogue.com editor.
  • Nicole Phelps, Vogue Runway’s global director, and several external candidates remain under consideration, while Eva Chen and Sara Moonves are reported to be out of the running.
  • Neither Condé Nast nor Vogue has confirmed any appointment, but insiders expect an official announcement before New York Fashion Week beginning September 11.
