Anna Wintour Ends Her Iconic Vogue Reign

Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of US Vogue, has stepped aside from her daily editorial role after leading the magazine since 1988.

Known for her trademark bob and sunglasses, Wintour turned Vogue into the ultimate authority in fashion, shaping trends, launching careers, and setting the tone for the entire industry.

During her nearly four-decade reign, she expanded the brand globally and was widely seen as the most powerful figure in fashion media. Though leaving the editor’s seat, Wintour is not retiring. She will continue as global editorial director of Vogue and chief content officer at Condé Nast, overseeing a portfolio that includes Vanity Fair, GQ, Wired, and more.

Her role in shaping Vogue into a global fashion bible was immortalized in pop culture through The Devil Wears Prada. As the magazine prepares to usher in a new era of leadership, Wintour’s legacy of precision, power, and influence continues to loom large across the fashion world.
