Anna Wintour is leaving her position as editorial director of Vogue.
However, the 75-year-old magazine mogul will retain a powerful position at the magazine and its worldwide empire, according to People magazine. She will remain Vogue’s global editorial director and Conde Nast’s global chief content officer.
Wintour had been editor-in-chief and director of editorial content at American Vogue for 37 years. She has been the biggest name in fashion magazines for decades, even inspiring the 2006 film “The Devil Wears Prada.”
But on Thursday morning, Wintour announced her departure at a staff meeting, Women’s Wear Daily reported. Wintour told staffers she would seek a new head of editorial content for Vogue in the U.S.
The various worldwide editions of Vogue all have their own editorial content directors. Wintour’s role as global editorial director will allow her continued oversight over the brand.
