Fashion is fast and fleeting. That’s the point. This season the industry is changing faster than ever. There are new chief designers at Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Versace and Balenciaga, and some mournful gaps in the schedule. Rest in peace, Giorgio Armani. The most intriguing new face in the front row is Chloe Malle, 39. Never heard of her? You will. She has just taken the editorial reins at Vogue’s US edition, the most powerful of all the global editions of the fashion magazine.
After 37 years at the helm, Dame Anna Wintour, 75, has called time on the cerulean blue debate — although she will continue to oversee all editions of Vogue as chief content officer for Vogue’s parent company, Condé Nast. She also keeps an exacting eye on all other Condé Nast titles, except The New Yorker.
