There’s been a lot less speculation around the succession process at American Vogue than, say, the recent search for the new global editorial director at Vanity Fair. This is largely because the job is really the least significant of Anna Wintour’s myriad roles. Regardless of whom she selects, Wintour will still manage the global Vogue brand, remain the chief content officer of parent company Condé Nast, and retain her position as the key opinion-former in the fashion industry. Even at 75, she remains relentless, and has reassured top advertisers and industry insiders that nothing is changing, really. On Sunday, she attended the Celine show for the first time in more than five years after being banned by former designer Hedi Slimane—presumably, an ad buy from the LVMH brand will follow soon.
