Margaret Zhang, editor-in-chief of Vogue China, will be leaving the publication at the end of March when her contract expires, BoF confirms. Condé Nast chief content officer Anna Wintour shared the news with Vogue China staff in an email on Friday.

Zhang’s appointment to the job in February 2021 made headlines at the time: Not only was she the youngest Vogue editor globally, she was also the first influencer to be named a top editor at any edition of Vogue, a sign of the fact that even Vogue could not deny the power of social media stars. She succeeded Vogue China’s founding editor Angelica Cheung, who departed in November 2020 amid a flurry of departures of international Vogue editors as parent company Condé Nast began to employ a global content strategy led by Wintour, also the editor-in-chief of American Vogue. She was notably one of the few new appointees who was able to retain the title of editor-in-chief; most are now called head of editorial content.

Her departure comes just weeks after Edward Enninful, the former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, published his last issue of the magazine.

A successor has not yet been named. Wintour confirmed in an email to Vogue staff that a search is underway.
