Teen Vogue EIC Amy Astley Exits, Elaine Welteroth Promoted!
Power moves are the new trend in the fashion industry, and in the latest one Amy Astley is exiting Teen Vogue, after leading the teen fashion publication for almost 13 years.
From one Conde Nast’s publications, Astley is moving to the other, as she will be taking the place of Architectural Digest’s outgoing Editor-in-Chief, Margaret Russell.
Replacing Astley as the Editor-in-Chief at Teen Vogue is Elaine Welteroth, who had made the headlines in 2012 by becoming the magazine’s first African-American beauty director. This time too, 29-year-old Welteroth has hit the headlines by becoming the first African-American to lead Teen Vogue and the youngest editor in Conde Nast’s 107-year-old history.

Joining Welteroth in her leadership position are two other editors, Philip Picardi, magazine’s digital editorial director, and Marie Suter, its creative director. While structural changes are on at Teen Vogue, at Architectural digest, things are, however, going to remain more or less the same for the time being. Its current EIC Margaret Russell will stay on as a consultant for special projects and will work along with Astley to make the transition smoother.

Conde Nast’s artistic director Anna Wintour acknowledged Astley’s contribution to the success of Teen Vogue, saying that her leadership and creativity can be clearly seen in the way the magazine has been built into an influential source of emerging fashion, beauty and culture for young women everywhere. “Astley’s five-year stint at House & Garden as the de facto personal interior stylist for Alexander Liberman has given her a deep knowledge and life-long passion for design that will lift Architectural Digest to new heights,” Wintour further noted.
At Architectural Digest, Astley will be responsible for overseeing all of the magazine’s editorial content as well as expansion of the brand’s digital presence across all platforms and furthering the reach of the magazine’s design authority.
