Comment Section for Vogue Names Chloe Malle as Its New Editor - The New York Times

The New York Times reports that Vogue has named Chloe Malle as its new Editor, succeeding Anna Wintour after her 37-year reign. Malle, who formerly headed Vogue's website and co-hosted its podcast, assumes the title "head of editorial content," reflecting the evolving role of magazine editors in the digital age. Despite the change, Wintour remains a dominant presence at Condé Nast, serving as the company’s chief content officer and Malle’s direct supervisor. Malle plans to place her stamp on Vogue, moving away from "Anna lite." She suggests major changes to Vogue's print product, with less frequent, theme-specific issues designed as collectible editions. In the digital realm, she aims for a more direct, smaller, but healthier audience, focusing on original and witty perspectives instead of quick trending stories. Malle, the daughter of actress Candice Bergen, identifies more as a journalist than a fashion authority. Her appointment signals a shift in Vogue's leadership style, aligning more with modern media dynamics while maintaining its status as a significant force in fashion journalism.
