Wintour will stay at Condé Nast as Global Chief Content Officer and Global Editorial Director at Vogue. In these jobs, she is in charge of several big magazines, such as GQ, Vanity Fair, Wired, and Glamour. In the world of fashion publishing, where she has been an important figure since 1988, her choice is a big change.
President and CEO of Condé Nast, Roger Lynch, said that Wintour has been doing three jobs well since 2020 and that this change lets her focus more on her world duties.
Many people say that Wintour changed Vogue and made the Met Gala a famous culture event around the world. She has been a facet of the fashion elite for a long time and has chosen the guests for the Met Gala.
Many people in the fashion world have called her leaving "the end of an era." Many fans and people in the industry took to social media to say they couldn't believe she was quitting the part that was so important to her identity.
Wintour's time as editor was not without criticism. She recently put Mark Guiducci, a friend of her daughter Bee Shaffer, in charge of Vanity Fair, which is said to have caused problems within the company. Some people also said that the 2025 Met Gala was "forgettable," which led to calls for her to step down as event director.
Wintour is still one of the most important people in fashion news because she led Vogue into the digital age while keeping the magazine's status. She also helped a lot of designers and models get their start in the business.
No one has been named as her replacement, so there is still a lot of talk about who will take over as editor of American Vogue.
