Condé Nast’s official announcement on January 5, 2024 says that Raúl Martinez returned to Vogue as the title’s global creative director. The same announcement says he had been Victoria’s Secret & Co.’s head creative director since 2021. I could not find an official source describing his Vogue role as “global creative editor”; the company’s own wording is “global creative director.”

Vogue’s own history of the Met Gala says Diana Vreeland was editor in chief of Vogue from 1963 to 1971, and that in 1972 she began working with the Costume Institute as a consultant. So the article’s wording is wrong on both points: in the Met Gala context she was not serving as Vogue’s editor-in-chief, and her Costume Institute role began in 1972, not 1971.

Vogue itself has already documented a basketball player on its cover before 2025. A 2017 Vogue profile of LeBron James says the LeBron James Family Foundation office displayed magazine covers, including Vogue, in 2008, with Gisele Bündchen. Vogue’s archive also has an April 1, 2008 issue entry for that cover. So Angel Reese may have been a notable or first-in-some-subcategory cover star, but she was not the first basketball player to appear on the cover of Vogue.

Condé Nast’s official announcement about Raúl Martinez identifies Anna Wintour as “global editorial director of Vogue and chief content officer of Condé Nast.” In other words, the chief content officer title belongs to the parent company, Condé Nast—not to Vogue itself. The article’s phrasing incorrectly turns that company-wide title into a Vogue-specific role.
