It’s the end of an era in the fashion world.
Anna Wintour is stepping down from the helm of American Vogue after 37 years, the glossy fashion magazine’s owner Condé Nast confirmed to The Post.
Wintour, 75, announced that she is seeking a new head of editorial content for Vogue’s US edition during a staff meeting Wednesday morning, according to a company spokesperson.
The longtime editor-in-chief, who took the helm in 1988, will continue to hold her positions as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director.
It’s the latest shakeup at Condé Nast, after Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones called it quits in April after seven years running the celebrity news magazine.
And an unexpected one at that, as Wintour has long squashed rumors about her retirement from Vogue.
In February, as she was made a companion of honor during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace, Wintour said: “This morning His Majesty asked me if this meant I was going to stop working and I said firmly, no. It makes me even more convinced that I have so much more to achieve.”
As chief content officer, Wintour oversees all of Condé Nast’s global brands, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, Glamour and Bon Appetit.
Her tenure is widely regarded as a transformative one for the magazine, helping to cement US Vogue as a leading magazine in the global fashion industry.
Prior to becoming editor-in-chief, Wintour served as Vogue’s creative director in 1983. She later led British Vogue, before rejoining American Vogue as the top boss in 1988.
