Dan Sablon has been appointed to steer Vogue France’s cultural agenda.
Dan Sablon has been appointed Vogue France’s new Culture Director-At-Large, a role that will see the Paris-born creative shaping the magazine’s cultural coverage. Sablon announced the news on Instagram: “I’m very happy to announce my appointment as the new Culture Director-At-Large at Vogue France.”
Sablon’s fashion career spans luxury maisons, indie magazines, and celebrity collaborations. He spent six formative years at Louis Vuitton under designer Marc Jacobs, rising from intern to become Jacobs’s creative right hand. After Marc Jacobs, Sablon branched out to work with emerging talent – his first consulting client was Hood By Air’s Shayne Oliver – and soon found himself styling for luxury brands and pop icons. He even joined Rihanna’s team to help launch the singer’s Fenty fashion venture, and has advised rising labels like Meryll Rogge and Drôle de Monsieur. In 2017, Sablon took the helm as fashion director of French magazine Lui, a post he held for four years, before being snapped up by i-D magazine as a senior fashion editor in 2021. Long respected within industry circles, his profile has grown beyond fashion’s inner circle in recent years, thanks to a reputation for blending high-fashion savvy with street and subculture influences.
Bringing Sablon on board signals Vogue France’s focus on creative cultural storytelling under its new leadership. He said, “Fashion has always been a means of expression for me. It has shaped my knowledge and curiosity extending to the realms of art, music, subculture, history…” By tapping a talent who moves fluidly between luxury fashion, music, and youth culture, Vogue France underscores its commitment to connecting style with the broader cultural conversation as it enters a new chapter.
