Anna Wintour steps down as editor-in-chief of American Vogue after 37 years

Anna Wintour, a prominent figure in global fashion, is looking for a new head of editorial content at American Vogue, a magazine she has led for 37 years. The announcement was made by Wintour, 75, at a staff meeting. This move signifies an elevation in her role rather than an end to it.

Wintour's responsibilities have expanded to oversee all titles in the Condé Nast family, including American Vogue and its international editions, as well as Vanity Fair, GQ, Wired, among others. A new head of editorial content will report to Wintour as the global editorial director of Vogue while she continues as the chief content officer of Condé Nast.

Speculations about Wintour stepping down have been put to rest. Roger Lynch, CEO of Condé Nast, mentioned that Wintour has been handling multiple roles since 2020, and stepping back from American Vogue will allow her to focus on other responsibilities.

Wintour's legacy at American Vogue dates back to 1988, where she introduced new concepts to the fashion world. Over the years, she has influenced cover stars, fashion trends, and the annual Met Gala, establishing herself as a powerful figure in the industry.

Mark Guiducci, a former Vogue member, has been appointed as the new top editor of Vanity Fair, another magazine under Wintour's supervision. Guiducci's appointment reflects Wintour's influence and strategic decisions within the Condé Nast empire.
