Summary
- Chloe Malle has reportedly been chosen as the new head of American Vogue
- Malle, the daughter of Candice Bergen and late French director Louis Malle, will combine her fashion and entertainment worlds, offering a unique perspective, as the Head of Editorial Content
- Her appointment signals a shift to a new generation of leadership
In a highly anticipated move that has been the subject of industry speculation for years, Anna Wintour has reportedly chosen her successor for the top editorial role at American Vogue. The choice is a familiar one: Chloe Malle, a longtime editor at the publication with a strong Hollywood pedigree, is set to take over as the new head of editorial content. The news, first reported by Puck, marks the latest and most natural step in the ongoing succession journey at the most influential fashion magazine in the world.
For over a decade, Malle has been a devoted and adaptable presence at Vogue, rising through the ranks from social editor to editor of Vogue.com and co-host of The Run-Through with Vogue podcast. Her tenure has been marked by a quiet, diligent climb. Rumors of Malle as the frontrunner for Wintour’s former position at American Vogue, now rebranded as the “Head of Editorial Content,” was first heard last month.
Her ascension, however, is being viewed through the lens of her powerful lineage. Malle is the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and the late French director Louis Malle. Her high-profile parents gave her a strong foundation in both the worlds of fashion and entertainment, offering a unique blend of connections and a sophisticated understanding of celebrity culture. This background, combined with her deep knowledge of the magazine’s inner workings, has made her a natural fit for the role.
Reports have indicated that Malle is expected to take over before New York Fashion Week begins on September 11, 2025, though Vogue has yet to confirm at the time of writing.
