Vogue officially has a brand new person in charge. <\/p>\n

Chloe Malle<\/a>, the daughter of actor Candice Bergen and the film director Louis Malle<\/a>, will be the new head of editorial content for American Vogue, according to Puck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Malle, 39, was previously an editor at the publication who was first rumored to be the frontrunner for Anna Wintour\u2019s former position<\/a> last month. <\/p>\n

The new editor is reported to be starting before the start of New York Fashion Week, which will be running from September 11 through September 16.<\/p>\n

It was first revealed in June that Wintour would be stepping down as Vogue\u2019s editor-in-chief <\/a>after leading the publication for 37 years.<\/p>\n

The Daily Front Row<\/a> reported at the time that Wintour informed Vogue staff of her decision during an editorial meeting. The 75-year-old will remain as Cond\u00e9 Nast\u2019s global chief content officer and Vogue\u2019s global editorial director.<\/p>\n

After studying comparative literature and writing at Brown University, Malle was at a standstill in terms of her career. \u201cWhen I graduated, I wasn\u2019t sure what I wanted to do,\u201d Malle said. \u201cI was always interested in writing\u2014I edited the weekly paper at Brown and loved that.\u201d<\/p>\n

After briefly considering a career in public health, Malle landed an internship at the New York Observer and was later hired to cover real estate. From there, she became a freelance writer, filing pieces for The New York Times Style section and landing bylines in Vogue. Then her big break came in 2011 for the social editor role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hesitant when I was interviewing, because fashion is not one of my main interests in life, and I wanted to be a writer more than an editor, but I was so seduced by the Vogue machine that I couldn\u2019t resist,\u201d Malle said.<\/p>\n

Malle previously opened up about her original interview to work at Vogue in 2011, recalling that she wore black tights \u2014 which Wintour strongly opposed \u2014 boots that were falling apart, and a \u201cvery boring\u201d dress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think back to my interview at Vogue and I\u2019m a little embarrassed,\u201d she said about her interview for a social editor position.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re supposed to never wear black. I wore black,\u201d Malle said<\/a> in 2014. \u201cIt was in March and so cold, so I wore black tights and these black J. Crew suede booties, which were fine, but were sort of falling apart. And then I wore this very boring, short\u2014not super short, but short-ish\u2014Diane von Furstenberg collared dress with a gray and white striped blazer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was plain, but it was fine,\u201d she added. \u201cBut then I wore this white-orange pashmina and this orange beaded bag that I thought were really cool\u2026I consider myself more of a ‘fashion girl’ now, but my evolution\u2019s been almost by osmosis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout her time at the publication, Malle had risen through the ranks of the fashion Bible \u2014 from social editor to podcast host and editor of Vogue.com.<\/p>\n

As social editor at Vogue, Malle\u2019s role saw her forced to mingle several times a week, which was a shock to her system.<\/p>\n

\u201cI work on the best-dressed lists and write party coverage for Vogue.com, which is so funny because I used to hate going out,\u201d she told beauty site Into the Gloss <\/a>in 2014. \u201cI\u2019m such a morning person. But now that I decide what parties to cover for the website, I\u2019m usually out three to four nights a week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Malle was reportedly in the middle of the \u201cfinal rounds\u201d of interviews after higher-ups at Cond\u00e9 Nast, including CEO Roger Lynch and Wintour herself, had narrowed down their selection to just a few candidates.<\/p>\n

Wintour\u2019s reign as editor-in-chief saw Vogue reestablish itself as the leading voice in fashion in the 1990s, holding off competition from the likes of Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and Mirabella. Wintour developed a reputation for a hands-on and painstaking approach to Vogue photoshoots, giving her personal approval to all outfits and set-ups. Since 1995, she has also presided over the exclusive guest list for the annual Met Gala.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-126743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
