According to The Daily Front Row , Anna Wintour (75 years old) - longtime editor-in-chief of the " fashion bible" Vogue , will leave her leadership position at the magazine.

She announced the decision at a staff meeting on the morning of June 26. Vogue will be looking for a new “head of editorial content” who will report directly to her.

Anna Wintour steps down but doesn't disappear

Anna Wintour continues to serve as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and Vogue 's global editorial director, overseeing all brands worldwide including Vanity Fair, Wired, GQ, AD, and many others. The only Condé Nast magazine she does not oversee is The New Yorker.

The New York Times has stressed that US Vogue will create a new role of "chief editorial officer" rather than "editor in chief". When Anna Wintour gives up the title of editor in chief, the role will no longer exist.

However, Anna Wintour's decision still stunned the media and fashion world. This is a shift in power, but it does not put an end to her career as editor-in-chief of the world's most famous fashion magazine.

Anna Wintour joined Condé Nast in 1983, later taking on the three roles mentioned above. She became editor-in-chief of Vogue in 1988.

Her departure has attracted a lot of public attention because Anna Wintour is not only an industry leader but also an icon of the world fashion industry. She has a profound influence in the fashion world.

"I want to talk to all of you this morning about a key decision that I have been thinking about for a long time," Anna Wintour told Vogue staff on the morning of June 26, according to the New York Times .

She plays a major role in spotting emerging fashion trends, and is a cold and demanding leader.

Anna Wintour was also the prototype for the main character in the movie The Devil Wears Prada , played by Meryl Streep. Although the character is portrayed in many ways rather than purely praising, Anna Wintour said she liked the movie and was particularly impressed with Meryl Streep's performance.
