There’s buzz at New York Fashion Week that Sally Singer could take over Vanity Fair.
Fashion sources are whispering between shows that Vogue editor-in-chief and Condé Nast artistic director Anna Wintour wants Singer for Graydon Carter’s Vanity Fair job.
In 2016, Wintour installed Teen Vogue’s editor Amy Astley at Architectural Digest.
But a source close to VF tells us Singer is just one name being mentioned in a pool of potential candidates that includes usual suspects Jim Nelson, Adam Moss, Janice Min and Dylan Jones.
And a Condé Nast insider insists the fashionable Singer rumor is not true: “There are a ton of names” in the mix, says the source, “and she is not one of them.”
Singer started at Vogue in 1999 and left in 2010 for a (reportedly rocky) stint as editor-in-chief of T Magazine. She returned to Vogue as chief digital director two years later. Shortly afterward, Wintour’s influence expanded.
