Condé Nast has named Mark Guiducci as global editorial director of Vanity Fair, a newly created position, effective June 30. 

Guiducci will oversee the creative and editorial direction of Vanity Fair across the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and all markets where it is published. 

Since 2020, Guiducci served as creative editorial director at Vogue, leading for the company’s largest title across print, digital, video, audio, social media and live events across 12 markets. He is credited with spearheading the launch of Vogue World, Vogue’s TikTok channel, the podcast "The Run-Through" and the initiative Open Casting. 

Guiducci, who started his career at Vanity Fair as an assistant to the managing editor, has also been editor in chief of Garage. 

Anna Wintour, chief creative officer, Condé Nast, observes that the greatest editors 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.” 

Wintour adds, “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.”

Guiducci comments, “The world today is spinning faster than ever, as the forces of Hollywood, politics, the arts, money, and style collide with 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.”
