Anna Wintour is stepping back as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue US, but don’t let that fool you, she’s far from retiring her power. Instead, Condé Nast is hiring for a brand-new position: Head of Editorial Content for American Vogue.

It’s giving Mugabe in Manolos, after decades as the reigning queen of Condé Nast, Ms Wintour is “technically” stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue US, but before you celebrate a new fashion era… there’s a twist. Rather than naming a successor, the title is simply being retired. Yes, really! The role now sounds more like a side gig (almost like this blog) rather than the powerful post it once was.

So is Anna actually leaving? Not quite. She’s still Chief Content Officer and Global Editorial Director a power move that quietly keeps her crown polished while pretending to pass the torch. Some say it’s strategic. Others call it a chokehold on the future of fashion media.

One thing’s clear: Anna isn’t ready to let go, she’s a dictator with a great bob and an average dress sense!
