Longtime Vogue queen Anna Wintour, 76, is carefully planning what comes next when she finally chooses to leave the fashion bible after decades of unmatched control and cultural influence, sources tell Straight Shuter.
Last year, Wintour handed the day-to-day operations of the Condé Nast magazine to new editor Chloe Malle, but still oversees editorial content for Vogue and many of the company’s other brands.
“Anna is not walking away tomorrow, but make no mistake — she is absolutely thinking about the endgame,” one insider says.

According to another source, feared Wintour remains Vogue‘s defining force — but people inside Condé are now “openly discussing what the company looks like after Anna.”
Another source shares, “She is not planning to surrender power. She is planning to redefine it.”
