Anna Wintour Steps Down as Vogue Editor-in-Chief After Nearly 40 Years
After nearly four decades leading American Vogue, Anna Wintour is stepping down as editor-in-chief, marking the end of an era for one of fashion’s most influential voices.
Wintour, who informed staff of her decision on Thursday, will not be leaving Vogue or Condé Nast entirely. She will remain as Vogue’s global editorial director and Condé Nast’s global chief content officer. The top editorial role at the U.S. edition of Vogue will now be titled “head of editorial content.”
Since taking the helm in 1988, Wintour transformed Vogue from a traditional fashion title into a cultural and trendsetting powerhouse. Her debut cover, featuring Israeli model Michaela Bercu in jeans, broke long-standing norms and signaled her willingness to push boundaries. Over the years, she introduced unconventional cover shoots, included men on the cover—like Richard Gere in 1992—and spotlighted emerging talent alongside established names.
In 2020, Wintour expanded her role beyond Vogue, becoming Condé Nast’s chief content officer, overseeing major publications including Vanity Fair, Wired, GQ, and Bon Appétit.
Her transition is part of a broader global restructuring at Condé Nast and does not signal full retirement. Still, her departure from the U.S. edition’s top spot is a major change, creating an opening for new leadership and potential editorial direction.
As seen with Chioma Nnadi’s appointment as British Vogue’s head of editorial content in 2023, the shift could also signal increased diversity and innovation within the brand’s future leadership.
