00:00From the role of queen of fashion to that of queen mother.
00:04After nearly four decades at the helm of Vogue magazine, fashion icon Anna Wintour has at least partially passed the baton to Chloe Maul.
00:13Stepping into the slingback pumps of the most powerful person in fashion, the 39-year-old was head of Vogue.com and the co-host of its podcast, The Run-Through, before being handpicked by Wintour to become head of editorial content for American Vogue.
00:27Gone is the title of editor-in-chief, but the 75-year-old Wintour is not retiring.
00:34The powerhouse who inspired the book and film The Devil Wears Prada will remain in her office just down the hall from Maul's in the role of global editorial director.
00:45In the announcement made on Vogue's website, Maul said she is not on pins and needles about Wintour staying on.
00:51She said she's happy about having her mentor remain her boss, all the while aiming for what she calls a notable shift to make this mine.
01:00The Franco-American is well-established in New York society.
01:03A self-reclaimed proud nepo baby, she is the daughter of French filmmaker Louis Maul, who's known for his films such as Au Revoir, Les Enfants and The Lovers.
01:13Her mother is American actress Candice Bergen, who coincidentally played the role of editor-in-chief of Vogue on Sex and the City.
01:19A graduate of comparative literature from Brown University, Maul joined Vogue in 2011.
01:27Now holding the reins of the so-called Bible of fashion, her challenge will be to ensure the 133-year-old glossy magazine retains its place in this next chapter of the digital, AI, and influencer age.
