Anna Wintour's SHOCKING Vogue Exit! What Happens Next?

2025-06-27 00:00:55.873

Anna Wintour, the iconic editor-in-chief of American Vogue for nearly four decades, is stepping down from her role. While she's leaving the top position of the US edition, she isn't leaving Condé Nast or Vogue entirely. Wintour will transition to the role of global editorial director for Vogue and remain Condé Nast's global chief content officer. The US edition will now be led by a 'head of editorial content'. During her tenure, Wintour dramatically reshaped Vogue, making bold editorial choices that redefined the magazine. From featuring jeans on the cover for the first time to showcasing a man (Richard Gere) on the cover in 1992, Wintour broke with tradition and elevated the publication to a powerhouse that significantly impacts fashion trends and designers. Her departure, along with the creation of the new 'head of editorial content' role, is part of a larger global restructuring within Condé Nast. This shift marks a significant moment for American Vogue, opening up a coveted position and potentially leading to new directions for the magazine. The change follows the appointment of Chioma Nnadi as the first Black woman to lead British Vogue.
