Vogue editor Anna Wintour has made it official.<\/p>\n

After almost 40 years at the helm of the brand, Wintour is turning the job of head of editorial content over to 39-year-old Chloe Malle<\/a>, the daughter of Murphy Brown actress Candice Bergen and director and screenwriter Louis Malle. <\/p>\n

According to Puck<\/a>, Malle was the safe choice for the Vogue matriarch. Last month, Malle was declared the frontrunner for the job by sources who told Page Six<\/a> she was in the \u201cfinal rounds\u201d of interviews and was a \u201cfavorite of staff.\u201d <\/p>\n

Malle, who already runs Vogue.com<\/a>, raised her profile at the company even higher when she interviewed Lauren S\u00e1nchez<\/a> ahead of her lavish Venetian wedding to Jeff Bezos. Towards the end of Wintour and Cond\u00e9 Nast CEO Roger Lynch\u2019s selection process, Malle was reportedly up against four or five other candidates, including W magazine editor (and daugther of the disgraced former head of CBS<\/a>) Sara Moonves, and Global Director of Vogue Runway and Vogue Business Nicole Phelps. <\/p>\n

Malle beat out the competition, Puck speculates, as she was the \u201cpractical, reasonable, rational choice.\u201d She\u2019s worked at the company for 14 years, according to her LinkedIn profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reports also presume Malle\u2019s famous parents add to her allure in the fashion world. Bergen, Malle\u2019s mother, Candice Bergen, played the editor of Vogue on Sex and the City, after all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Though Wintour is stepping aside, she remains Global Chief Content Officer at Cond\u00e9 Nast and Global Editorial Director of Vogue as Malle takes over day-to-day. Though Wintour reportedly wanted to fill the role with someone who would have an \u201copinion\u201d and \u201cpush back,\u201d per Puck, she will be in the wings of the storied brand, prompting questions about how much leeway Malle will have to make the job her own.<\/p>\n

The news could be announced as soon as Tuesday, but is expected to be out in the open before New York Fashion Week begins Sept. 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vogue editor Anna Wintour has made it official.
