Fashion icon Anna Wintour is making room for a new head of editorial content at American Vogue, after reigning as its editor-in-chief for 37 years, the publication told the Star.
“Anna will still be overseeing Vogue globally, but a new Head of Editorial Content will be added at Vogue U.S.,” spokesperson Cydney Gasthalter said over email. “She is still very much staying at Conde/Vogue, despite misleading headlines floating around.”
This new head of editorial content will report to Wintour, who will retain her role as global editorial director of Vogue. Wintour will also continue on as the chief content officer of parent company Condé Nast, where she will oversee each of the company’s brands — including American Vogue, Wired, Vanity Fair and more — with the exception of the New Yorker.
Over the last four years, Wintour’s roles within the company expanded to encompass its global operations as well as day-to-day editing at American Vogue. The new head of content position will allow Wintour to focus more on her other two roles, a spokesperson for the publication said.
Vogue staffers were alerted to the opening of the position Thursday.
