Chloe Malle will follow Anna Wintour as editor of Vogue, the magazine said Tuesday, resolving an intrigue that has gripped fashion and journalism circles for months.
Wintour has sat on the glossy fashion monthly’s throne for more than 40 years, and the announcement in June that she was stepping away from the position sparked speculation about who would take on the top job.
An advert was even posted on professional networking site LinkedIn to recruit for a successor, although Wintour will retain her role as Vogue’s global editorial director and publisher Conde Nast’s global chief content officer.
Malle, who described herself in an interview with The New York Times as a “proud nepo baby,” is the daughter of actor Candace Bergen and director Louis Malle.
In a twist of fate, Bergen played the head of Vogue on the popular sitcom “Sex and the City.”
