Where we had remained
Anna Wintour’s farewell It is not news of the last hour. Already in recent months the “woman with a helmet and dark glasses” had announced a step back from her historical role as Vogue Us. After almost forty years At the helm, however, this is not a real leave: Wintour keeps Indeed the charges of Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast, a position that makes it the supervisor of all the editorial contents of the group’s newspapers.

Chloe Malle, a name we will hear more and more about

Famous the anecdote of her first interview, remembered by herself: black tights, bad boots and an orange scarf. A look far from Vogue’s codes, which does not like Wintour particularly.
The same codes that she will soon be defined. But the question arises spontaneously: how much real power will have chloe mallewith Wintour still present in the top of Condé Nast? Will he be able to give a real change of course or will his leadership remain under protection?
