Chloe Malle is Head of Editorial Content for American Vogue, effective immediately. In this new position, Malle, who is currently the editor of Vogue.com and co-host of The Run-Through, Vogue’s weekly fashion and culture podcast, will lead the creative and editorial direction of the title and join Vogue’s 10 existing Heads of Editorial Content around the world, reporting to Anna Wintour.
“Fashion and media are both evolving at breakneck speed, and I am so thrilled—and awed—to be part of that,” says Malle. “I also feel incredibly fortunate to still have Anna just down the hall as my mentor.”
“When it came to hiring someone to edit American Vogue, letting me turn my attention more intensely to Vogue’s multifaceted growth across its global audiences and publications and events like the Met Gala and Vogue World, I knew I had one chance to get it right,” Wintour told team members.
“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.
“Chloe has long been one of Vogue’s secret weapons when it comes to tracking fashion. But she is not so buried in the industry that she misses the world: Like the best designers, she understands fashion’s big picture, its role shaping not just what’s on the runway but the changing fabric of modern life. Although she is no stranger to the glamour of red carpets, her talent has been for original thinking and hard work.”
Malle began working at Vogue in 2011, when she was named the title’s Social Editor, leading all wedding and social coverage and contributing across a wide range of topics, including fashion, politics, homes and gardens, beauty, and health. In addition to her work for the magazine, Malle has been the editor of several books for Vogue. From 2016 to 2023, Malle was a Contributing Editor to the magazine, writing features, overseeing special projects, and working as a sittings editor. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, WWD, and more.
Since Malle became the editor of Vogue.com in the fall of 2023, direct traffic to the site has doubled, and Vogue.com has seen double-digit growth across all key metrics—including unique views, time spent, and content output—around major events such as the Met Gala and Vogue World. Malle has been a key player in Vogue’s expansion into new forms of storytelling, launching editor-led newsletters and introducing successful annual tentpoles such as Dogue and the Vogue Vintage Guide. She’s also further raised the profile of Vogue’s Weddings section, increasing content output by 30% and driving record engagement.
“I’ve spent my career at Vogue working in roles across every platform—from print to digital, audio to video, events and social media,” says Malle, who lives in Manhattan with her husband, two children, and dog, Lloyd. “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.”

Fashion is the art of embracing change, but some changes run closer to one’s heart than the rest. When it came to hiring someone to edit American Vogue, letting me turn my attention more intensely to Vogue’s multifaceted growth across its global audiences and publications and events like the Met Gala and Vogue World, I knew I had one chance to get it right. I’m thrilled to announce that Chloe Malle will be the next Head of Editorial Content for our US title, leading the American magazine and guiding its digital coverage.
Chloe, who came to Vogue fourteen years ago, is widely known as the co-host of our podcast, The Run-Through, and as the editor of Vogue.com. She has done extraordinary work to increase our digital readership, winning exclusive coverage of everything from Angel Reese’s WNBA draft to Lauren Bezos’s wedding, and her interests range as widely as our readers’.
In the recent past, Chloe has commissioned a moving series of essays on grief, interviewed novelists such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, reported cover stories, and launched Vogue.com’s popular and extremely serious canine feature, Dogue. She’s a voracious, engaged journalist with an intuition for women’s changing interests now—and her eye for the definitive image is exceptional.
Chloe has long been one of Vogue’s secret weapons when it comes to tracking fashion. But she is not so buried in the industry that she misses the world: Like the best designers, she understands fashion’s big picture, its role shaping not just what’s on the runway but the changing fabric of modern life. Although she is no stranger to the glamour of red carpets, her talent has been for original thinking and hard work.
Chloe has put in as many late nights as anybody at Condé Nast, all without losing her creative imagination or her sense of fun. Her colleagues admire her startling acumen but also her warmth. Her desk is a place of guidance and contagious joy.
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, we 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.
