Vanity Fair Taps Vogue’s Mark Guiducci as New Editor

Celebrity and culture magazine Vanity Fair has found its new top editor: Mark Guiducci, who comes from sister Condé Nast publication Vogue.

Guiducci will start at Vanity Fair’s global editorial director on June 30. He takes over for Radhika Jones, who exited the influential glossy after more than seven years at the helm.

Since 2020, Guiducci, 36, has served as creative editorial director at Vogue, where he led content for the company’s largest title across print, digital, video, audio, social media and live events. He spearheaded the launch of Vogue World, one of the company’s most successful new franchises, bringing art, theatre, sport and culture together to reimagine how fashion is presented to the world.

As Vanity Fair’s first global editorial director, a newly creator role, Guiducci will oversee the creative and editorial direction of Vanity Fair editions across all markets where it is published including the U.S., United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. He’s based in New York.

Anna Wintour, Chief Creative Officer, Condé Nast: “I grew up in an editorial household and have been surrounded by editors all my life. One thing I have observed is that the greatest of them are not fixed rudders but sails. Through the unique weave of their interests and experience, they catch the winds of their moment over and over again. They inspire their colleagues to move with speed, dexterity, and thrilling derring-do. That’s the magic of Mark, an energetic and creative editor at the center of his generation and a leader under whom Vanity Fair will grow in ways I can foresee and, no doubt, many ways I can’t. None of us knows what the future will bring — only that Vanity Fair will define it under Mark.”

Guiducci commented: “The world today is spinning faster than ever, as the forces of Hollywood, politics, the arts, money, and style collide with all the drama of a Verdi opera in its final act. At the center of it all, documenting the stakes and the spectacle, is Vanity Fair. My first job out of college was here and it proved to be the most extraordinary journalism school I could have imagined. To return now, fifteen years later, as global editorial director—reuniting with former colleagues and meeting new ones around the world—is the honor of my career. I am profoundly grateful to Roger, Stan, and Anna for this opportunity and cannot wait to get started. It will be a great adventure.”
