Vogue Names chloe Malle New U.S. Editor, Declares Herself a ‘Proud Nepo Baby’
NEW YORK – Chloe Malle has been appointed the new U.S. editor of Vogue,succeeding Anna Wintour,and has openly embraced the label of “nepo baby” in a recent Times interview. Malle, who has been with Vogue as 2011, currently serves as the editor of Vogue.com, a role she’s held as 2023, overseeing all digital content. She has also co-hosted “The Run-thru,” Vogue’s weekly fashion and culture podcast, since 2022.
Malle began her career at Vogue as social editor,leading wedding and social coverage and contributing to sections including fashion,politics,homes and gardens,beauty,and health. She transitioned to a contributing editor role from 2016 to 2023, where she wrote features, oversaw special projects, and worked as a sittings editor.
Looking ahead, Malle envisions a shift for Vogue’s print publication, proposing fewer issues released around specific themes or cultural moments, transforming them into “collectible editions” printed on high-quality paper. The first print issue under her leadership is anticipated in 2026.
Anna Wintour expressed her confidence in Malle, stating, “I believe that warmth, joy, experience, and keen vision are what Vogue will thrive on through the years ahead. At a moment of change both within fashion and outside it,Vogue 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 Vogue’s 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 we’ve never been before.”
Malle herself stated, “I’ve spent my career at Vogue, working in roles across every platform – from print to digital, audio to video, events and social media. I love the title, I love the content we create, and I love the editors who create it. Vogue has already shaped who I am,now I’m excited at the prospect of shaping Vogue. I look forward to embedding myself even more fully across print, video, and events – fostering the true cross-platform plurality that our audience craves and demands.”
Beyond her work at vogue, Malle is the editor of several books, including ”Vogue Living: City, Country, Coast” (2017), “Vogue and The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute: Parties, Exhibitions, People” (2014), and “Vogue Weddings: brides, Dresses, Designers” (2012). Her writing has also appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, and WWD.A graduate of Brown University, Malle resides in New York City with her husband, two children, and dog, Lloyd. According to Condé Nast, she enjoys Lego building and watching britbox in her free time.
