Anna Wintour, the iconic editor-in-chief of US Vogue, has stepped down from her position after an impressive 37-year tenure. Wintour, 75, announced her departure during a staff meeting, marking a significant shift in the fashion world. While she’s relinquishing her day-to-day editorial role, Wintour will continue to hold influential positions within the industry.
As global chief content officer of Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue, Wintour will focus on providing leadership to the brand’s international titles. Her dedication and expertise will still shape the fashion world, even if not in the same hands-on capacity. Wintour’s legacy at US Vogue has been profound, with her making the magazine’s front covers authoritative statements on contemporary fashion.
Wintour’s influence extends beyond the pages of Vogue. She’s become a cultural icon, inspiring characters in popular media, such as the demanding editor in “The Devil Wears Prada”. Her contributions to fashion have earned her prestigious recognitions, including being named a British dame in 2017 and a companion of honour earlier this year.
