# Replacing Iconic Fashion Editors Aliona Doletskaya to Succeed Anna Wintour at Vogue By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-09-11 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-successor-rumors-aliona-doletskaya-russian-vogue-editor-has-a-shot References: [nytimes](http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/10/fashion/shows/10RUSSIAN.html) New York Fashion Week heads have been turning toward a [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore) editor, and shockingly, she isn't Anna Wintour. **Aliona Doletskaya**, the editor of **Vogue Russia**, is rumored to be the next editor of Vogue U.S. if Anna Wintour decides to give up the title. Aliona Doletskaya seems to be the real-life counterpart of Miranda Priestly of "The Devil Wears Prada." Ten years behind the desk at Russian Vogue have certainly not softened her. **Implications** - Aliona Doletskaya is at least as stylish and terrifying as Anna Wintour. She views the [fashion world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) as one where "Everything is gorgeous, stunning, caramel on top of caramel, and cream on top of that." Amen to that, sister. Amen. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Replacing Iconic Fashion Editors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new talent and fresh perspectives in the fashion industry by replacing iconic fashion editors with a new generation of innovative leaders. - **Fashion Week Heads Turning Toward Vogue Editor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalize on the attention towards Vogue editors by leveraging their influence and expertise to drive fashion-related events and collaborations. - **Aliona Doletskaya: the Next Vogue US Editor?:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the potential leadership change at Vogue US and tap into Aliona Doletskaya's unique vision to drive new directions and narratives in the fashion publication industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reinvent traditional fashion publishing by embracing new editorial voices and perspectives to cater to diverse consumer interests. - **Fashion Events:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Curate fashion events that showcase the influence and expertise of Vogue editors, attracting industry professionals and fashion enthusiasts alike. - **Fashion Leadership:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Foster a new generation of fashion leaders by providing opportunities for emerging talent to take on influential roles within the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inaugural Designer-Led Ready-To-Wear Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-victorias-secret.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Fashion-Focused Substack Publications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-should-i-wear.md) - [Character-Driven Fashion Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-realgirl.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Refined Quiet Luxury Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-journey.md) - [Couture Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-2024-campaign.md) - [Surprise Fashion Line Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surprise-valentino-collection.md) - [Authentic Fashion House Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024.md)
