Dame Anna Wintour is stepping down as the editor-in-chief of American Vogue after a remarkable 37-year tenure. Despite leaving this role, she will continue to hold significant positions within its publisher. Wintour, who was made a dame by Queen Elizabeth II and later named Companion of Honour by King Charles, will take on the role of global editorial director for Vogue, as well as chief content officer for parent company Conde Nast.
During her time at American Vogue, Wintour revolutionized the publication, transforming it into one of the top fashion magazines in the world. Her influence in the fashion industry is undeniable, and she is known for introducing lesser-known models and featuring a mix of affordable and haute couture fashion.
In addition to her role at Vogue, Wintour has organized the prestigious Met Gala in New York since 1995. This annual fundraising event attracts high-profile celebrities and has become a major fashion event. Wintour is also recognized for her signature bob and dark glasses, which she has described as a “prop” that helps her see and not see. Her tenure as editor-in-chief of US Vogue has been rumored to inspire the character of Miranda Priestly in the popular novel and film adaptation, The Devil Wears Prada.
Despite King Charles asking Wintour to consider stopping work, she firmly replied “no,” highlighting her continued dedication to her career.
