Conde Nast Sets the Record Straight: Anna Wintour Is Staying Indefinitely
What the CEO Just Felt She Needs to Say
Bob Sauerberg, the CEO of the iconic media giant, dropped a big shake‑up memo on Twitter to soothe the storm:
“Anna Wintour is an incredibly talented and creative leader whose influence is beyond measure. She is integral to the future of our company’s transformation and has agreed to work with me indefinitely in her role as @voguemagazine editor‑in‑chief and artistic director of Conde Nast.”
In short, the rumor mill that had been churning months ago finally stopped blaring. Anna— the same woman who has steadied American Vogue since 1988— is not leaving.
Behind the Curtain: What’s Really Happening?
Other news in the edit‑room flip‑and‑three‑tap saga includes:
- The fashion director and executive fashion editor are moving to roles as contributing editors, taking a less hands‑on spot.
- Vogue’s Los Angeles director is headed to Conde Nast’s in‑house creative agency, shifting focus from editorial to design.
- Conde Nast is tightening its costs, which may trim its 2017 revenue by roughly $100 million compared to 2016.
Why the “Indefinite” Twist Matters
Since April, gossip clouds had floated over Anna’s possible exit after her daughter Bee’s wedding at Long Island. The people whispering, “Forget it—this is the last issue.” The headlines were quick to echo Anna’s infamous purr‑like silence.
But now, with the CEO’s clear endorsement, the rumors about an “end of the era” vacation are dampened. The stakes remain high: even if Anna stays, the style house is tightening reins, reshaping touches, and tightening budgets.
Beyond the Pages
She’s not only a style icon but a Hollywood legend, from being the “Nuclear Wintour” in the gossip alley to inspiring the storyline of The Devil Wears Prada. The woman with a perfect bob and her signature Chanel shades still keeps even the torch‑lit runway under the spotlight.
Back to Vogue—Anna’s message may feel like a gentle hush: Stay—and the world keeps spinning.
