Anna Wintour has reportedly appointed Chloe Malle as the new head of editorial content for American Vogue.
The 39-year-old Vogue.com editor’s new role at the fashion media powerhouse could be announced as early as Tuesday, Puck’s Lauren Sherman reported on Monday.
Reps for Condé Nast weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Wintour, 75, revealed in June that she was stepping down from her role as head of editorial content for the fashion magazine.
At the time, Vogue announced that they were seeking someone to “lead the magazine’s daily operations across platforms” and report to Wintour.
The outlet, however, clarified that the legendary fashion figure, who was appointed as EIC in 1988, would continue to work as Condé Nast’s chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director.
“Anybody in a creative field knows how essential it is never to stop growing in one’s work,” Wintour told her staff in a meeting when the announcement was made, per Vogue.
“When I became the editor of Vogue, I was eager to prove to all who might listen that there was a new, exciting way to imagine an American fashion magazine.”
Wintour explained that her “greatest pleasure” has been “helping the next generation of impassioned editors storm the field with their own ideas, supported by a new, exciting view of what a major media company can be.”
“And that is exactly the kind of person we need to now look for to be HOEC for US Vogue,” she said.
Wintour reassured her employees that she will continue to pay “very close attention to the fashion industry and to the creative cultural force that is our extraordinary Met Ball.”
Last month, Page Six exclusively revealed that Wintour was leaning toward Malle — the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and director Louis Malle — to take over Vogue.
At the time, we heard, Malle was in the “final rounds” of interviews.
The Vogue editor is notably a favorite among staff and conducted Lauren Sanchez’s Vogue cover interview timed to the her wedding to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in Italy.
Malle reportedly secured the role after Page Six learned that the global director of Vogue Runway, Nicole Phelps, and a few others were in the running.
