Chloe Malle will become American Vogue’s first head of editorial content, Condé Nast confirmed.
The news marks the completion of a years-long global reorganisation at Vogue, bringing all editions under global editorial director Anna Wintour’s leadership. Previously they had each been run by their own individual editor-in-chiefs with comparatively little oversight from New York.
While Wintour is making way for a new editorial leader at Vogue, this hardly marks the end her reign. She will still oversee all international editions of Vogue as well as Condé Nast’s other titles, (with the exception of the New Yorker), as the company’s chief content officer for Condé Nast.
Malle, the daughter of actress Candice Bergen (who once played a Vogue editor on “Sex and the City”) and the late director Louis Malle, is an insider pick. Since 2023, she’s served as the editor of Vogue.com, but her tenure with Vogue overall goes back much further, having been employed by or contributing to the magazine in some capacity since 2011. Most recently, she’s served as a co-host of Vogue’s The Run-Through podcast, interviewed Lauren Sanchez Bezos about her wedding and spearheaded a canine-themed digital edition called Dogue that was a hit online.
Since Wintour’s June announcement that the search was underway for a new day-to-day editorial leader at the publication, speculation has abounded among fashion insiders. Various media outlets reported Malle was a top candidate for the role, with other names said to be in the running included Eva Chen, Instagram’s head of fashion partnerships and the final editor of Lucky magazine; Sara Mooves, editor-in-chief of W and Nicole Phelps, who runs Vogue Runway and Vogue Business.
