Condé Nast International has announced Holly Shackleton as the new editor-in-chief of Vogue International, the London-based team responsible for creating quality content for all the Vogues around the world.

Joining in April, Shackleton will succeed former editor-in-chief Justine Bellavita who stepped down in July last year after a year in charge.

Shackleton is currently global editor-in-chief of British bimonthly publication i-D magazine, which is owned by Canadian digital media company Vice Media.

“Holly has a deep understanding of the global publishing, fashion and luxury industries. She has shown, if not created, the model for how to collaborate with journalists and creative talent across so many different cultures, languages and markets, while making i-D the distinctive ‘voice of a generation’,” Wolfgang Blau, president Condé Nast International said.

“It is this rare combination of her strong editorial instincts, her intercultural awareness and experience as well her inspiring style of leadership that makes us all so excited to welcome Holly to Vogue, the world’s largest and most influential network of fashion journalists.”

Founded in 2017, Vogue International is responsible for overseeing and coordinating content for a range of Vogues around the world, including Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, Vogue Russia, Vogue Taiwan, Vogue China, Vogue Mexico, Vogue Spain, Vogue Germany, Vogue Japan, British Vogue, and Vogue India.

Condé Nast International said Shackleton has extensive experience working across different markets, having rolled out i-D internationally to 11 markets across Europe, the United States, Asia and Latin America.

Holly Shackleton commented: “It is an honour to be joining the Vogue International team at such a pivotal moment in fashion publishing. I very much look forward to working with Vogue’s award-winning editors to create content that celebrates Vogue’s truly global reach and unrivalled reputation.”
