What’s next for the queen of fashion and fashion at large? Oh my goodness, what’s next for Vogue?
It’s official. After three decades and some change, the legendary Anna Wintour has stepped down as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Global. Yes — the same Anna who made the bob and shades a global trademark, the same Anna who didn’t just run Vogue, but ran fashion.
Wintour’s journey with Vogue started in 1985, when she relocated to New York. After a brief stint back in London to lead British Vogue, she returned in 1988 to take the global reins. Her mission was clear: make Vogue the number one fashion magazine in the world. At the time, Elle Magazine held the crown, but Anna was about to shake the table.
Her first U.S. Vogue cover said it all — Israeli model Michaela Bercu in a $10,000 Christian Lacroix sweater and $50 Guess jeans. It was bold. Unconventional. Controversial. And it worked. That single image sparked a creative revolution and reshaped how fashion was perceived globally.
Anna didn’t just run a magazine — she reshaped an industry. Under her rule, Vogue became the global fashion bible. She opened doors for designers, gave rising talent like Victoria Beckham their first runway platforms, and played gatekeeper to the highest level of fashion validation.
Her work ethic? Ruthless.
Her vision? Unmatched.
Her influence? Untouchable.
Let’s not forget, she’s also the chair of the Met Gala — the most exclusive fashion event on the planet. Wintour transformed it from a fundraiser into fashion’s Super Bowl.
Though she’s stepping down from her editorial throne, Anna isn’t leaving fashion entirely. She’ll now serve as Chief Content Officer at Condé Nast, Vogue’s parent company.
But one question remains —
Who’s filling those size-37-year-old shoes?
Who’s next in line to carry the Vogue legacy forward?
