Vogue officially has a brand new person in charge.
Chloe Malle, the daughter of actor Candice Bergen and the film director Louis Malle, will be the new head of editorial content for American Vogue, according to Puck.
Malle, 39, was previously an editor at the publication who was rumored to be the frontrunner for Anna Wintour’s former position last month.
The new editor is rumored to be starting before the start of New York Fashion Week, which will be running from September 11 through September 16.
It was first revealed in June that Wintour would be stepping down as Vogue’s editor-in-chief after leading the publication for 37 years.
The Daily Front Row reported at the time that Wintour informed Vogue staff of her decision during an editorial meeting. The 75-year-old will remain as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director.
Malle previously opened up about her original interview to work at Vogue in 2011, recalling that she wore black tights — which Wintour strongly opposed — boots that were falling apart, and a “very boring” dress.
“I think back to my interview at Vogue and I’m a little embarrassed,” she said about her interview for a social editor position.
“You’re supposed to never wear black. I wore black,” Malle said in 2014. “It was in March and so cold, so I wore black tights and these black J. Crew suede booties, which were fine, but were sort of falling apart. And then I wore this very boring, short—not super short, but short-ish—Diane von Furstenberg collared dress with a gray and white striped blazer.”
“It was plain, but it was fine,” she added. “But then I wore this white-orange pashmina and this orange beaded bag that I thought were really cool…I consider myself more of a ‘fashion girl’ now, but my evolution’s been almost by osmosis.”
Throughout her time at the publication, Malle had risen through the ranks of the fashion Bible — from social editor to podcast host and editor of Vogue.com.
