After nearly four decades under the unmistakable eye of Anna Wintour, Vogue US is entering a new era with Chloe Malle stepping in as Head of Editorial Content. This announcement is no small matter, considering Wintour has been a defining force behind the cultural pulse of an era shaped between the bounds of tradition and the thrill of digital transformation.

Malle, daughter of actress Candice Bergen and French filmmaker Louis Malle, grew up immersed in stories that wove together film, literature, and fashion—but she has carved her own path far from the shadows of her last names. She began her journey at Vogue as Social Editor in 2011, and a decade later, her presence on vogue.com doubled the site’s audience, amplified its voice, and launched unexpected projects like Dogue and the Vintage Guide—initiatives that resonated with new generations without losing the magazine’s iconic tone.

Her appointment doesn’t mark a break from the past but rather a bridge. Anna Wintour will remain as Vogue’s Global Editorial Director and Condé Nast’s Chief Content Officer, continuing as a close mentor. The gesture signals not a replacement, but a transfer of trust—a legacy passed to someone capable of steering it in a new direction.

What sets Chloe Malle apart is her sharp cultural literacy—an instinctive understanding that Vogue is not just a fashion magazine, but the leading voice in how societies dress, move, and narrate themselves.

Under Malle’s leadership, Vogue steps into a space where fashion is part of a much broader conversation: art, the architecture of everyday life, and cultural identity. It’s not about replacing what once was, but rather, opening the door to what’s next.
