Summary
Today on The Run Through we have a special bonus episode from our friends at the New Yorker Radio Hour! David Remnick sat down with Anna Wintour on the day of the big announcement that Chloe Malle is Vogue’s Head of Editorial Content. “It felt like this was the right time,” Wintour says about Chloe’s new position. With an unusual number of new creative directors in positions at major fashion houses, “It seemed like a good moment to bring in someone with a different perspective and a different generation who could look at things in a new way.”
Wintour also shares stories from when she was first appointed editor-in-chief (in 1988), her first job in London, who she is watching politically and why fashion, especially now, is important. “Forgive me, David,” Wintour said “but how boring would it be if everybody was just wearing a dark suit and a white shirt all the time?”
The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.
