À propos de cet audio
In a seismic shift for the fashion world this week, Anna Wintour, whose reign as editor in chief at Vogue shaped global style for nearly four decades, officially announced during a staff meeting that she is stepping down from the role at age seventy-five. This news, covered by AOL and WWD, instantly became the major headline rippling through both business and culture circles, considering Wintour’s historic influence in blending fashion with art, celebrity, and social change since she took the helm in 1988. According to Vogue, her legacy is peppered with iconic covers, from Madonna’s striking debut in 1989 to her talent for spotting trends that have defined an era. While stepping aside from day-to-day editorial operations, Wintour will still wield significant soft-power: she remains Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and will continue overseeing global editorial strategies. A key piece of gossip swirling about her departure is the succession baton—Chloe Malle, previously a contributing editor with deep Vogue ties, will take over as American Vogue’s new head of editorial content as reported by TBS News and confirmed within industry circles.
Wintour’s swan song cover for Vogue features Timothée Chalamet, photographed by Annie Leibovitz on a NASA-inspired cosmic backdrop, generating buzz not only for its unconventional look but as a symbol of her last creative flourish at the magazine according to Amy Odell’s Back Row newsletter. Her final Met Gala co-chair duties in May received mainstream coverage, with ABC highlighting Wintour’s remarks on the gala’s Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme and its cultural and political resonance. She called the 2025 event “particularly moving and important,” embracing the joyful spotlight on Black creativity in style. Social media has erupted in tributes and retrospectives; stars and designers have shared personal anecdotes about Wintour’s mentorship and sometimes polarizing editorial vision, most notably on Instagram and X though some stories are speculative until officially commented upon.
On the business front, Condé Nast has merged Teen Vogue and Vogue Business into the flagship Vogue brand under new editorial leadership, a sign of broader cost-cutting and restructuring at the company amid industry challenges reported by Odell’s Substack deep dive on Condé Nast’s fiscal health. Condé Nast’s owners, the Newhouse family, are engaged in budget overhauls following revenue misses in 2023 despite recent profitability, prompting this era-defining change with Wintour—and big questions about the future of magazine publishing.
On the social calendar, Anna Wintour was spotted in New York at a dinner gala co-hosted with Isha Ambani just this week, according to Free Press Journal. Wintour’s signature bob and understated elegance remain the talk of fashion insiders after the event, but no major public statement from Anna herself about the transition has emerged yet—leaving her next steps an open topic for speculation.
