Vogue's fashion director Lucinda Chambers has announced that she is to step down from her position in the summer after 36 years at the publication. Lucinda joined the title as previous editor Beatrix Miller's assistant, then went on to assist Grace Coddington, and briefly left to join ELLE before returning to become fashion director in 1992.

Vogue's editor Alexandra Shulman said: "Lucinda has been the most wonderful creative collaborator, as well as friend, throughout my whole editorship. She has produced many of the most influential and inspiring fashion shoots in the world during her time as fashion director of this magazine as well as a huge number of our most remarkable covers. It is impossible to overstate her vision, commitment, imagination and her ability to bring the best out of teams that work with her. I, like her many admirers, will be excited to see what she produces in her next chapter."
