Wintour praised Malle’s talents, emphasizing the importance of finding the right successor. “Fashion is the art of embracing change, but some changes run closer to one’s heart than the rest,” she said. “Chloe Malle will be the next head of editorial content for our US title, leading the American magazine and guiding its digital coverage.”
Wintour highlighted Malle’s deep understanding of not only fashion but also the broader cultural landscape, noting her exceptional intuition for women’s changing interests. “Chloe has long been one of Vogue’s secret weapons when it comes to tracking fashion,” Wintour added. “Her talent has been for original thinking and hard work.”
This transition at American Vogue comes at a time when the fashion industry faces unprecedented changes driven by social media and shifting consumer interests. Malle’s appointment signals a fresh approach to the magazine’s content strategy, aiming to engage a global audience while maintaining the publication’s prestigious legacy.
