Nepo Baby or Vogue Visionary? Who Will Succeed Anna Wintour?
EXCLUSIVE SCOOP: Anna Wintour's Top Choice for New Vogue Editor Revealed - And It's a Familiar Face!
In a shocking turn of events, sources close to the fashion magazine's inner circle have spilled that Anna Wintour is secretly eyeing none other than Chloe Malle, daughter of Hollywood legend Candice Bergen and French film icon Louis Malle, to take over one of the most coveted jobs in fashion media.
Malle, a 30-year-old fashion powerhouse with a decade-long career under her belt, has been steadily climbing the ranks at Vogue since joining in 2011 as an editorial assistant. Her meteoric rise has left many in the industry wondering if her famous family connections played a role in her rapid ascent.
But insiders claim Malle's appointment is not just about who she knows - it's about her impressive track record and undeniable talent. "Chloe is the complete package," gushes one source familiar with the situation. "She has an incredible eye for style, a knack for getting the most out of her subjects, and a natural charm that makes even the toughest interviewees open up to her."
Malle's editorial portfolio boasts some of the biggest names in entertainment, including a high-profile cover story featuring Lauren Sanchez earlier this year - just one of many A-listers she's interviewed over the years. Her interviews with Fran Lebowitz, Jenna Lyons, Fran Drescher, and Margot Robbie are still talked about in industry circles, and her podcast co-hosting gig on The Run-Through with Vogue has cemented her status as a rising star.
But Malle isn't the only contender for the top spot. Nicole Phelps, global director of Vogue Runway, is reportedly also in the running - although sources close to Wintour indicate that Malle is her top pick.
As the fashion world holds its breath waiting for the announcement (expected around the start of New York Fashion Week next month), rumors are swirling about what a new era under Malle might look like. Would she bring fresh blood and new ideas, or stick with the tried-and-true formula that made Wintour a household name?
One thing is certain: whoever takes over will have enormous pressure to fill Wintour's massive shoes. The Vogue editor-in-chief has been an institution in the fashion world since 1988, shaping the industry's aesthetic and style for decades. Her departure leaves a gaping void, and it remains to be seen how Malle (or Phelps) will navigate the minefield of expectations.
Vogue declined to comment on the speculation when reached by The Scholarly Note.com, fueling the fire of intrigue surrounding Malle's appointment.
