Vogue is a fashion and lifestyle magazine published in several countries around the world. It is published by Condé Nast Publications, headquartered at the Conde Nast building at 4 Times Square, New York City.
History
Today, there are different editions of Vogue published around the world: Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
However, Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia are arguably the most influential magazines of the fashion world.
Under the ownership of New York-based magazine publisher Condé Nast and through a succession of women editors, Vogue is most famous as a presenter of images of high fashion and high society, but it is also publishes writings on art, culture, politics, and ideas. On the way, it has helped to enshrine the fashion model as celebrity. 'Vogue is regularly criticized, along with the fashion industry it writes about, for valuing wealth, social connections, and low body weight over more noble achievements.
The magazine surged in subscriptions during the depression and World War II. It celebrated its 90th birthday in 2006.
Lauren Hutton has appeared on over 30 VOGUE covers. Brooke Shields has made 14 appearances on the cover of American VOGUE. The first being the February 1980 issue. She was only fourteen at the time, making her the youngest cover model in the magazine's history. Darla Baker and Alyssa Miller appeared on the October 2006 issue of German VOGUE.
In the 1960s, with editor-in-chief and personality Diana Vreeland in charge, the magazine rose to the occasion of this candy-colored, youth-oriented decade of sexual revolution by focusing more on the exciting fashions of the times, through daringly playful, theatrical, and straightforwardly sexual editorial features. Vogue also continued making household names out of pretty faces, a practice that continued with Suzy Parker, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, and others.
Under the tenure of editor-in-chief Grace Mirabella through the 1970s and 1980s, the bimonthly magazine became a monthly, and the revolutionary air of the sixties gave way to more practical clothing. The magazine's female audience was no longer in the kitchen dreaming of a better life. It was heading out every morning for work, and editorial changes reflected this new reality.
The current editor-in-chief of American Vogue is Anna Wintour, noted for her trademark bob and her practice of wearing sunglasses indoors. Wintour's Vogue aggressively nurtures new design talent, and her presence at fashion shows is often taken as an indicator of the designer's profile within the industry. Wintour's notoriously demanding personality at Vogue was the subject of a roman à clef titled The Devil Wears Prada, which has also been made into a film.
Other Editions
In 2005, Condé Nast launched Men's Vogue and announced plans for an American version of Vogue Living launching in late fall of 2006 (there is currently an edition in Australia).
Condé Nast Publications also publishes Teen Vogue, a version of the magazine for a younger girls in the United States. Australia has a Vogue Girl magazine, in addition to Vogue Living and Vogue Entertaining + Travel.
Vogue Hommes International is an international men's fashion magazine based in Paris, France, and L'uomo Vogue is the Italian men's version. Other Italian versions of Vogue include Vogue Casa and Bambini Vogue.
Until 1961, Vogue was also the publisher of Vogue Patterns, a home sewing pattern company. It was sold to Butterick Publishing which also licensed the Vogue name. .
