Chloe Malle is the new U.S. editorial director for Vogue magazine.
She takes the reins from Anna Wintour, who ceded her role leading the the American edition ofย Vogue in June. Malle starts in the new role immediately.
Wintour, who has ledย Vogueย since 1988, remains global editorial director forย Vogue, overseeing all of the publicationโs global editions (including the U.S. version), and also continues to work as chief content officer for Condรฉ Nast.
Malle, the daughter ofย Murphy Brownย actress Candice Bergen and Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter Louis Malle, joinedย Vogueย in 2011 as its social editor, after contributing to the publication for a number of years. She also hostsย The Run Through with Vogueย podcast.
โI believe that warmth, joy, experience, and keen vision are whatย Vogueย will thrive on through the years ahead,โ Wintour said in a statement. โAt a moment of change both within fashion and outside it,ย Vogueย must continue to be both the standard-bearer and the boundary-pushing leader. Chloe has proven often that she can find the balance between American Vogueโs long, singular history and its future on the front lines of the new. I am so excited to continue working with her, as her mentor but also as her student, while she leads us and our audiences where weโve never been before.โ
โIโve spent my career atย Vogue, working in roles across every platform โ from print to digital, audio to video, events and social media,โ Malle added. โI love the title, I love the content we create, and I love the editors who create it.ย Vogueย has already shaped who I am, now Iโm excited at the prospect of shaping Vogue. I look forward to embedding myself even more fully across print, video, and events โ fostering the true cross-platform plurality that our audience craves and demands.โ
Her promotion suggests that Wintour intends to place more a digital focus onย Vogueย moving forward, a strategy consistent with Condรฉ Nast CEO Roger Lynchโs vision for the company, which includes growing video and digital advertising revenue, while managing the decline of print.
Malleโs elevation comes just a few months after Wintourย elevated another protege, Mark Guiducci, to be global editorial director ofย Vanity Fair. Guiducci, a veteran ofย Vogue, now overseesย Vanity Fairโsย global output.
