If the content is like this with it, imagine without it... Unfortunately, there is nothing more that can be done.

I think it’s going to be another of Anna’s minions.. Chloe Malle? Nicole Phelps? Anna is still going to control and oversee everything anyway.. but I hope they surprise us with their choice. They really really need a strong voice if they want to keep Vogue alive for the next 30 years or so. One name i can think of right now is probably Sara Moonves.

End of an era Bye Felicia

I didn't think I’d live to see the day…I agree that rather than representing a possible renaissance for the magazine, a new EIC is probably just gonna accelerate its descent into pure irrelevancy.

The title of the thread is juicier than the reality. She’ll still be around.

Oops

I feel conflicted. On one hand, I am happy to see her leave since things got really awful. On the other hand, I am afraid that whoever replaces her will be even worse.

The title of the thread seems a bit misleading to me? In theory, it feels like nothing's gonna change?

It will tho, just not now, the new editor in chief probably will have to be supervised by her for the next decade until she decides to retire.

You summed up my thoughts.. I'm happy she's beginning to fade a little because she really represents the dark side of fashion that decimates competition like a vulture, and manipulates talent only for the benefit of her own product, and certainly exiled it and isolated it if you dared crossing her. That old guard will leave for natural reasons but if they could do it in a dignified way and not as if they were politicians (aka on their deathbed), that would be help the industry a lot!

On the other hand, the product itself (a magazine) is archaic, it's just not going to last so I'm not expecting any new chapter to mean anything. I think the damage is done. Hopefully the absence will bring in oxygen that will open up new creative opportunities for a new generation, not in this company but in terms of how they sell fashion to audiences.

Literally the “devil” we know...

 

[berbe]

this is major! who's gonna replace her?

 

[AFWQ]

It will be curious trajectory Vogue US will take. But even so, she will continue to oversees how everything will work. It's a bittersweet to see this post but even, it had to come some day.

From it’s being reported this won’t be a big structural change. She’s still overseeing the magazine (as well as the other CN titles), just not doing the day-to-day editor work. I don’t see the new person having much freedom to make radical changes, they’ll be lackeys like the ones in UK, France and Italy. Ultimately it’s still her magazine and her decisions.

That's a gamble now a days. Pick can either be surprising or a total tragedy.

Madness of memes has started 🤣

Oh no…
The next person will have to definitely be trained by her for a decade. We all might dislike the last decade or so at the Vogue print magazine but I think everyone forgets how much of a powerhouse she is for the whole company. I don’t see anyone having the willpower to do what she has done. And let alone being as glamorous and a personality. All these names being thrown around are about as thrilling as mud.

It seems it could be a rumour... not sure.
Edward Enninful could be the next in line.
