It’s official: Margaret Zhang is out at Vogue China, following a three year stint as the magazine’s editor-in-chief. Zhang was installed at the top job at the Chinese fashion bible back in 2021, following the exit of the publication’s long-serving founding editor Angelica Cheung. At 27, Margaret Zhang was the youngest person to ever edit an edition of Vogue. Back in February, Zhang announced to her 2M Instagram followers she was ready to “wrap up at Vogue and jump into the next chapter of my career.” Zhang first rose to prominence as a teenage fashion blogger in Sydney, Australia and was working in New York as a creative director and brand consultant prior to taking up the mantle at Vogue China. Make no mistake that throughout the past three years, Zhang has delivered some truly outstanding and sensational magazine covers for us here at theFashionSpot to fawn over.
To commemorate the past 33 issues with the Australian-born editor at the helm, we’ve handpicked 10 of Margaret Zhang’s best and most beautiful covers. From Zhang’s impressive and visually-arresting inaugural cover featuring Jinghan Fan captured high above the mountains of the Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park to the most recent June 2024 issue (Zhang’s last) starring Chinese supermodel Liu Wen celebrating Chinese talent – scroll further for theFashionSpot’s highlights of Margaret Zhang’s tenure at Vogue China:
