The editor-in-chief of Vogue China, Margaret Zhang, has left the publishing group in the latest senior departure from the fashion magazine and its US owner, media group Condé Nast.
A noted fashion executive with more than 2mn followers on Instagram, Zhang was seen as one of the rising stars of Condé Nast. She became Vogue’s youngest editor when she was hired two years ago.
Her appointment was considered an important strategic move to target a younger, more digitally native audience in China, a fast-growing market for fashion. However, she will leave the group after her contract ends next month, according to three people familiar with the situation.
