Chloe Malle follows Anna Wintour at the Vogue fashion magazine. How she stands for her advantages by famous parents.
According to her own statements, the new Vogue boss Chloe Malle has no problem with the fact that she had better starting conditions because of her famous parents. She was a “proud Nepo baby,” said 39-year-old successor to Mode icon Anna Wintour (75) in the interview of the New York Times.
100 percent benefited from privileges
Malle is the daughter of US actress Candice Bergen (79, ‘Book Club’) and the film director Louis Malle, who died in 1995. The term “nepo baby” is derived from the word nepotism (nepotism) and refers to a person who benefits from their origin.
“There is no question that I benefited 100 percent from the privileges that I grew up with,” Malle continued. To say something else would simply be unrealistic. “But I have to say that it always made me work much harder. A big goal of my life was to prove that I am more than just Candice Bergen’s daughter or someone who grew up in Beverly Hills.”
Malle has been working at Vogue for 14 years
Wintour was editor-in-chief of the US Vogue since 1988. At the end of June, she announced her withdrawal from the top of the US title, but also explained that the Vogue would remain connected worldwide. In the future, she was a global editor-in-chief and the highest content of Condé Nast for the title, a spokeswoman had confirmed the German press agency at the time.
On Tuesday it was announced that Malle was appointed new editor -in -chief. Malle has been working at the magazine for 14 years and has so far moderated the weekly podcast “The Runthough” in addition to the management of the “Vogue” website.
