Chloe Malle will become the top editor at American Vogue after Dame Anna Wintour stepped aside as editor-in-chief, the publication has announced.
The 39-year-old worked her way up the fashion magazine ranks over the past 14 years to become editor of Vogue.com and host the magazine's podcast The Run Through.
Malle's appointment marks a new era for the magazine, considered one of the most influential and glamorous fashion publications.
Dame Anna, the British-born fashion magnate, announced she was leaving the role in June after holding the position for 37 years. The magazine said she would retain senior positions at its publisher.
In a statement announcing the news, Malle said she had worked across every platform during her time at the magazine. Vogue has already shaped who I am, now I'm excited at the prospect of shaping Vogue, she said.
Dame Anna said Malle had proven adept at finding the balance between Vogue's long singular history and its future on the front lines of the new.
I am so excited to continue working with her, as her mentor but also as her student, while she leads us and our audiences where we've never been before, Dame Anna said.
Malle, the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and French film director Louis Malle, grew up splitting her time between Paris and Los Angeles until her father died when she was 10 years old.
In a previous job, Malle covered real estate for the New York Observer. Her next gig as a freelance writer led her to Vogue, where she began a full-time position as the social editor in 2011, aged 25.
While at Vogue, she has reportedly been responsible for securing significant photoshoots and interviews.
Like her predecessor, Malle has engaged in political activism, supporting various causes and expressing her views on social media and her podcast.
The exact timing of the transition remains unclear, but Dame Anna will continue to have a presence at Vogue in her role as chief content officer of Condé Nast, overseeing not just Vogue but other titles like GQ and Wired.
