Chloe Malle Named New Head of Editorial Content at U.S. Vogue

Malle will be taking over the role historically held by Anna Wintour, after her exit in June

Effective immediately, Chloe Malle has been named the new head of editorial content at U.S. Vogue, leading the creative and editorial direction of the publication. Malle will join the ranks of Vogue’s 10 existing Heads of Editorial Content around the globe, all reporting to Anna Wintour.

The news was announced via a Vogue.com article on Tuesday, which included a full statement from Wintour herself. “Fashion is the art of embracing change, but some changes run closer to one’s heart than the rest. When it came to hiring someone to edit American Vogue…I knew I had one chance to get it right. I’m thrilled to announce that Chloe Malle will be the next Head of Editorial Content for our US title, leading the American magazine and guiding its digital coverage.”

The announcement also included a statement from Malle herself, saying “Fashion and media are both evolving at breakneck speed, and I am so thrilled—and awed—to be part of that. I also feel incredibly fortunate to still have Anna just down the hall as my mentor.”

According to Malle’s LinkedIn account, she attended Brown University, where she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in literary arts and comparative literature in 2008. Malle first began her career at Vogue in 2011 as social editor. She has stayed with the publication ever since, currently holding the role of Vogue.com editor and co-hosting the publication’s fashion podcast, The Run-Through. Malle’s writing has also appeared in other publications like WWD, The New York Times, and Architectural Digest.

“Chloe has long been one of Vogue’s secret weapons when it comes to tracking fashion…like the best designers, she understands fashion’s big picture, its role shaping not just what’s on the runway but the changing fabric of modern life,” said Wintour. “Chloe has put in as many late nights as anybody at Condé Nast, all without losing her creative imagination or her sense of fun.”

Wintour announced her intended departure from the role of Editor-in-Chief at U.S. Vogue in late June, a position she held for 37 years. She will continue at the company in a senior position as chief content officer of Vogue and Condé Nast.
