NEW YORK — Anna Wintour is leaving her position as editor-in-chief of Vogue.

However, the 75-year-old tastemaker will retain powerful roles at the magazine and its parent company, according to Business of Fashion. Wintour will remain the global editorial director at Vogue and global chief content officer at Condé Nast.

Wintour’s departure as editor-in-chief of American Vogue, a position she has held for 37 years, is part of a larger restructuring at Condé Nast, CNN reported.

During her lengthy reign, Wintour’s name has become synonymous with fashion magazines. Her presence became so well-known that she inspired the 2006 film “The Devil Wears Prada,” then showed up at the film’s premiere wearing Prada.

But on Thursday morning, Wintour told staffers that she would be seeking a new head of editorial content for Vogue in the U.S., according to Women’s Wear Daily. The move will see her step back from day-to-day operations but maintain a dominant voice over Condé Nast’s brands.

Wintour became editor-in-chief of American Vogue in 1988, one of numerous worldwide editions of the “fashion bible.” She quickly established herself as a woman with a unique vision and extensive influence, ordering trendsetting and expectation-shattering covers while running a demanding operation.

In 2020, Wintour’s influence expanded further when Condé Nast named her its global chief content officer as part of its corporate restructuring. The move gave Wintour influence over the company’s numerous titles worldwide, including Vanity Fair, Wired, GQ, Architectural Digest, Bon Appetit and Condé Nast Traveler.

Wintour has additionally chaired the annual Met Gala since 1995, setting the terms of fashion’s biggest night each year. Her role in that event is not expected to change.
