Vogue España

''Vogue'' (stylized in all caps), also known as American ''Vogue'', is a monthly fashion and lifestyle magazine that covers style news, including haute couture fashion, beauty, culture, living, and runway. It is part of the global collection of Condé Nast's VOGUE media.

Headquartered at One World Trade Center in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, ''Vogue'' began in 1892 as a weekly newspaper before becoming a monthly magazine years later. Since its founding, ''Vogue'' has featured numerous actors, musicians, models, athletes, and other prominent celebrities.

British ''Vogue'', launched in 1916, was the first international edition, while the Italian version ''Vogue Italia'' has been called the top fashion magazine in the world. As of March 2025, there are 28 international editions. Eleven of these editions are published by Condé Nast ( ''British Vogue'', ''Vogue Arabia'', ''Vogue China'', ''Vogue Deutsch'', ''Vogue España'', ''Vogue France'', ''Vogue India'', ''Vogue Italia'', ''Vogue Japan'', ''Vogue México y Latinoamérica'', and ''Vogue Taiwan''). The remaining 16 editions are published as licensees of Vogue.

Background

''Vogue'' is an American fashion and culture magazine. The magazine is published ten times per year with merged issues for January/February (Winter) and June/July (Summer).

Originally ''Vogue'' was published weekly then bimonthly from 1910 (24 issues per year, 1910–1944; 22 issues per year, 1945; 23 issues per year, 1946–1947; 20 issues per year, 1948–1972). The magazine became a monthly in 1973 publishing 12 issues per year, until 2020 when the June and July issue was merged and then in 2023 the January and February issues were merged.

Founded in 1892 by Arthur Baldwin Turnure, the current publisher Condé Nast acquired the magazine in 1909.

History

1892–1905: Early years

Arthur Baldwin Turnure (1856–1906), an American businessman, founded ''Vogue'' as a weekly newspaper based in New York City, sponsored by Kristoffer Wright, with its first issue on December 17, 1892. The first issue was published with a cover price of 10 cents ().

Turnure's intention was to create a publication that celebrated the "ceremonial side of life"; one that "attracts the sage as well as debutante, men of affairs, as well as the belle". From its inception the magazine intended to target the New York upper class by "recounting their habits, their leisure activities, their social gatherings, the places they frequented, and the clothing they wore... and everyone who wanted to look like them and enter their exclusive circle". The magazine at this time was primarily concerned with fashion, with coverage of sports and social affairs included for its male readership.

1905–1920: Condé Nast

Condé Montrose Nast purchased ''Vogue'' in 1909, three years after Turnure's death. He gradually developed the nature of the publication. Nast changed it to a women's magazine, and he started ''Vogue'' editions overseas in the 1910s. Its price was also raised. The magazine's number of publications and profit increased dramatically under Nast's management. It continued to target an upscale audience and expanded into the coverage of weddings. When the First World War made deliveries in Europe impossible, printing for the European market began in England which then developed into separate national editions. The decision to print in England proved successful, causing Nast to release the first issue of French ''Vogue'' in 1920.

1920–1970: Expansion

The magazine's number of subscriptions surged during the Great Depression, and again during World War II. During this time, noted critic and former '' Vanity Fair'' editor Frank Crowninshield served as its editor, after moving from ''Vanity Fair'' by publisher Condé Nast.

In July 1932, American ''Vogue'' placed its first color photograph on the cover of the magazine. The photograph was taken by photographer Edward Jean Steichen and portrayed a woman swimmer holding a beach ball in the air. Laird Borrelli notes that ''Vogue'' led the decline of fashion illustration in the late 1930s, when it began to replace its illustrated covers, by artists such as Dagmar Freuchen, with photographic images. Nast was responsible for introducing color printing and the "two-page spread". He has been credited with turning ''Vogue'' into a "successful business" and the "women's magazine we recognize today", having substantially increased sales volumes until his death in 1942.

In the 1950s, the decade known as the magazine's "powerful years", Jessica Daves became editor-in-chief. As Rebecca C. Tuite has noted, "Daves led a quiet charge for excellence during one of the most challenging, transformative, and rich decades in the magazine's history." Daves believed that "taste is something that can be taught and learned", and she edited ''Vogue'' as "a vehicle to educate public taste". While fashion coverage remained a priority, Daves also elevated the written content of American ''Vogue'', particularly championing more robust arts and literature features.

The Daves era of ''Vogue'' came to an end in 1962, when Diana Vreeland joined the magazine (first as associate editor, and then, following Daves's departure in December 1962, as editor-in-chief). The pair had opposed approaches to editing ''Vogue,'' and critics said that this led the magazine to a period of "extravagance, and luxury and excess". Under Vreeland, the magazine began to appeal to the youth of the sexual revolution by focusing on contemporary fashion and editorial features that openly discussed sexuality. Vogue extended coverage to include East Village boutiques, such as Limbo on St. Mark's Place, and it included features of personalities like Andy Warhol's "Superstars". ''Vogue'' also continued making household names out of models, a practice that continued with Suzy Parker, Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Lauren Hutton, Veruschka, Marisa Berenson, Penelope Tree, and others.

In 1973, ''Vogue'' became a monthly publication. Under editor-in-chief Grace Mirabella, the magazine underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes in response to changes of its target audience. Mirabella states that she was chosen to change ''Vogue'', because "women weren't interested in reading about or buying clothes that served no purpose in their changing lives." She was selected to make the magazine appeal to "the free, working, "liberated" woman of the seventies. The magazine changed in terms of interviews, arts coverage, and articles. When this stylistic change fell out of favor in the 1980s, Mirabella was fired.

Well-known fashion photographers for the magazine include:
* Erwin Blumenfeld (1897–1969)
* Cecil Beaton (1904–1980)
* Horst P. Horst (1906–1999)
* Regina Relang (1906–1989)
* Irving Penn (1917–2009)
* Henry Clarke (1917–1996)
* Richard Avedon (1923–2004)
* Peter Lindbergh (1944–2019)

1988–present: Anna Wintour leadership

In July 1988, with ''Vogue'' losing readership and advertising to its rival ''Elle'', Anna Wintour was named editor-in-chief. Noted for her trademark bob cut and sunglasses, Wintour attempted to revitalize the brand by making it feel younger and more approachable; she directed the focus towards new and accessible concepts of "fashion" for a wider audience. Wintour's influence allowed the magazine to maintain its high circulation, while staff discovered new trends that a broader audience could conceivably afford.

Throughout her reign at ''Vogue'', Wintour accomplished her goals to revitalize the magazine and oversaw production of some of its largest editions. The September 2012 edition measured 916 pages, which was the highest ever for a monthly magazine. Wintour continues to be American ''Vogue''s editor-in-chief.

The contrast of Wintour's vision with that of her predecessors was noted as striking by observers, both critics and defenders. Amanda Fortini, fashion and style contributor for ''Slate'', argues that her policy has been beneficial for ''Vogue'', delivering it from what some critics had termed its boring "beige years".
Although she has had a strong impact on the magazine, Wintour has been pinned as being cold and difficult to work with. The most recent change, as of early 2024, in ''Vogue'' magazine is the return of Raul Martinez as global creative editor. As the creative director, he reports to Wintour and oversees the direction for the magazine globally and its visual approach. With both personalities, the magazine could take an interesting turn.

Healthy body initiative

May 2013 marked the first anniversary of a healthy body initiative that was signed by the magazine's international editors—the initiative represents a commitment from the editors to promote positive body images within the content of ''Vogue'''s numerous editions. ''Vogue Australia'' editor Edwina McCann explained:

In the magazine we're moving away from those very young, very thin girls. A year down the track, we ask ourselves what can ''Vogue'' do about it? And an issue like this une 2013 issueis what we can do about it. If I was aware of a girl being ill on a photo shoot I wouldn't allow that shoot to go ahead, or if a girl had an eating disorder I would not shoot her.

Jonathan Newhouse, Condé Nast International chairman, states that "''Vogue'' editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the wellbeing of their readers." Alexandra Shulman, one of the magazine's editor, comments on the initiative by stating "as one of the fashion industry's most powerful voices, ''Vogue'' has a unique opportunity to engage with relevant issues where we feel we can make a difference."

Style and influence

The word ''vogue'' means "fashion" in French. ''Vogue'' was described by book critic Caroline Weber in a December 2006 edition of ''The New York Times'' as "the world's most influential fashion magazine": The publication claims to reach 11 million readers in the US and 12.5 million internationally. Furthermore, Anna Wintour was described as one of the most powerful figures in fashion.

Technological

Google partnered with ''Vogue'' to feature Google Glass in the September 2013 issue, which featured a 12-page spread. Chris Dale, who manages communications for the Glass team at Google, stated:

In the September 2015 issue, technology such as Apple Music, Apple Watch, and Amazon Fashion were all featured within the issue's 832 pages.

Economic

Wintour's "Fashion Night" initiative was launched in 2009 with the intention of kickstarting the economy following the 2008 financial crisis, by drawing people back into the retail environment and donating proceeds to various charitable causes. The event was co-hosted by ''Vogue'' in 27 cities around the US and 15 countries worldwide, and included online retailers at the beginning of 2011. Debate occurred over the actual profitability of the event in the US, resulting in a potentially permanent hiatus in 2013; however, the event continues in 19 other locations internationally. ''Vogue'' also has the ability to lift the spirits of readers during tough times and revels that "even in bad times, someone is up for a good time." The article states that ''Vogue'' "make money because they elevate the eye and sometimes the spirit, take the reader someplace special." These fantasy tomes feel a boost during economic distress—like liquor and ice cream and movie ticket sales."

Political

In 2006, ''Vogue'' acknowledged salient political and cultural issues by featuring the burqa, as well as articles on prominent Muslim women, their approach to fashion, and the effect of different cultures on fashion and women's lives. ''Vogue'' also sponsored the "Beauty Without Borders" initiative with a US$25,000 donation that was used to establish a cosmetology school for Afghan women. Wintour stated: "Through the school, we could not only help women in Afghanistan to look and feel better but also give them employment." A documentary by Liz Mermin, entitled ''The Beauty Academy of Kabul'', which highlighted the proliferation of Western standards of beauty, criticized the school, suggesting that "the beauty school could not be judged a success if it did not create a demand for American cosmetics."

Leading up to the 2012 US presidential election, Wintour used her industry clout to host several significant fundraising events in support of the Obama campaign. The first, in 2010, was a dinner with an estimated US$30,000 entry fee. The "Runway To Win" initiative recruited prominent designers to create pieces to support the campaign.

In October 2016, the magazine stated that "''Vogue'' endorses Hillary Clinton for president of the United States". This was the first time that the magazine supported as a single voice a presidential candidate in its 120 years of history.

Social

The Met Gala is an annual event that is hosted by ''Vogue'' to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibit. The Met Gala is the most coveted event of the year in the field of fashion and is attended by A-list celebrities, politicians, designers and fashion editors. ''Vogue'' has hosted the themed event since 1971 under editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland. Since 1995, Anna Wintour, who is Vogue's chief content officer and global editorial director, served as chairwoman of the Met Gala, and is the woman behind the coveted event's top-secret guest list. In 2013, ''Vogue'' released a special edition of ''Vogue'' entitled Vogue Special Edition: The Definitive Inside Look at the 2013 Met Gala. Vogue has produced about 70 videos about this event for YouTube exclusively, that includes pre-coverage, live reporting and post-event analysis. Met-related video content generated 902 million views, a 110% increase from 2021.

Music

In 2015, ''Vogue'' listed their "15 Roots Reggae Songs You Should Know"; and in an interview with Patricia Chin of VP Records, ''Vogue'' highlighted an abbreviated list of early "reggae royalty" that recorded at Studio 17 in Kingston, Jamaica which included Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals, The Heptones, and Bunny Wailer. In addition to their coverage of historically significant artists, ''Vogue'' is a source for contemporary music news on artists such as Jay-Z, Eminem, Tom Petty, and Taylor Swift, as well as one that introduces new artists to the scene such as Suzi Analogue in 2017.

Criticism

As Wintour came to personify the magazine's image, both she and ''Vogue'' drew critics. Wintour's one-time assistant at the magazine, Lauren Weisberger, wrote a ''roman à clef'' entitled '' The Devil Wears Prada''. Published in 2003, the novel became a bestseller and was adapted as a highly successful, Academy Award-nominated film in 2006. The central character resembled Weisberger, and her boss was a powerful editor-in-chief of a fictionalized version of ''Vogue''. The novel portrays a magazine ruled by "the Antichrist and her coterie of fashionistas, who exist on cigarettes, Diet Dr Pepper, and mixed green salads", according to a review in ''The New York Times''. The editor is described by Weisberger as being "an empty, shallow, bitter woman who has tons and tons of gorgeous clothes and not much else". However, despite the slight defamation of Wintour and Vogue magazine in general, the image of both editor and high-class magazine were not diminished. The success of both the novel and the film brought new attention from a wide global audience to the power and glamour of the magazine, and the industry it continues to lead.

In 2007, ''Vogue'' drew criticism from the anti-smoking group "Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids", for carrying tobacco advertisements in the magazine. The group claims that volunteers sent the magazine more than 8,000 protest emails or faxes regarding the ads. The group also claimed that in response, they received scribbled notes faxed back on letters that had been addressed to Wintour stating, "Will you stop? You're killing trees!" In response, a spokesperson for Condé Nast released an official statement: "''Vogue'' does carry tobacco advertising. Beyond that we have no further comment."

In April 2008, American ''Vogue'' featured a cover photo by photographer Annie Leibovitz of Gisele Bündchen and the basketball player LeBron James. This was the third time that Vogue featured a male on the cover of the American issue (the other two men were actors George Clooney and Richard Gere), and the first in which the man was black. Some observers criticized the cover as a prejudicial depiction of James because his pose with Bündchen was reminiscent of a poster for the film ''King Kong''. Further criticism arose when the website ''Watching the Watchers'' analyzed the photo alongside the World War I recruitment poster titled ''Destroy This Mad Brute''. However, James reportedly liked the cover shoot.

In February 2011, just before the 2011 Syrian protests unfolded, ''Vogue'' published a controversial piece by Joan Juliet Buck about Asma al-Assad, wife of the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. A number of journalists criticized the article as glossing over the poor human rights record of Bashar al-Assad. According to reports, the Syrian government paid the U.S. lobbying firm Brown Lloyd James US$5,000 per month to arrange for and manage the article.

In October 2018, ''Vogue'' published a photoshoot starring Kendall Jenner who had an afro-like style hairstyle which drew criticisms.

In 2020, the hashtag #VogueChallenge became a popular social media meme in response to the perceived lack of diversity on Vogue's front covers. Users of various ages and ethnicities uploaded photos of re-creating famous Vogue covers as part of a campaign to promote diversity in fashion.

Media

Documentaries

In 2009, the feature-length documentary ''The September Issue'' was released; it was an inside view of the production of the record-breaking September 2007 issue of U.S. ''Vogue'', directed by R. J. Cutler. The film was shot over eight months as Wintour prepared the issue, and included testy exchanges between Wintour and her creative director Grace Coddington. The issue became the largest ever published at the time; over 5 pounds in weight and 840 pages in length, a world record for a monthly magazine. That record has been broken by ''Vogue''s September 2012 issue, which came in at 916 pages.

Also in 2012, HBO released a documentary entitled ''In Vogue: The Editor's Eye'', in conjunction with the 120th anniversary of the magazine. Drawing on ''Vogue''s extensive archives, the film featured behind-the-scenes interviews with longtime Vogue editors, including Wintour, Coddington, Tonne Goodman, Babs Simpson, Hamish Bowles, and Phyllis Posnick. Celebrated subjects and designers in the fashion industry, such as Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Linda Evangelista, Vera Wang, and Marc Jacobs, also appear in the film. The editors share personal stories about collaborating with top photographers, such as Leibovitz, and the various day-to-day responsibilities and interactions of a fashion editor at ''Vogue''. The film was directed and produced by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. In October 2012, ''Vogue'' also released a book titled ''Vogue: The Editor's Eye'' to complement the documentary.

In 2013, ''Vogue'' launched the ''Vogue'' video channel that can be accessed via their website. The channel was launched in conjunction with Conde Nast's multi-platform media initiative. Mini-series that have aired on the video channel include ''Vogue Weddings'', ''The Monday Makeover'', ''From the Vogue Closet'', ''Fashion Week'', '' Elettra's Goodness'', ''Jeanius'', ''Vintage Bowles'', ''The Backstory'', ''Beauty Mark'', ''Met Gala'', ''Voguepedia'', ''Vogue Voices'', ''Vogue Diaries'', '' CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund'', and ''Monday's with Andre''.

Voguepedia

Launched in 2011 by Condé Nast Digital, Voguepedia is a fashion encyclopedia that also includes an archive of every issue of ''Vogue''s American edition since 1892. Only Vogue staff are permitted to contribute to the encyclopedia, unlike the VogueEncyclo—hosted by ''Vogue Italia''—that receives contributions from anyone. As of May 9, 2013, the site was not fully functional; code still showed in search results and only certain search terms yielded results.

Website

''Vogue'' has also created an easily navigable website that includes six different content categories for viewers to explore. The website includes an archive with issues from 1892 forward for those whom subscribe for the website. The magazines online are the same as those that were printed in that time and are not cut or shortened from the original content.

Podcast

''Vogue'' launched the teaser for its podcast series on September 10, 2015. The magazine announced that star André Leon Talley would host the podcasts, and the inaugural twenty-one-minute podcast was released on September 14, 2015, featuring Anna Wintour. Talley commented that he had "been a longtime storyteller at Vogue and it's just another format for telling stories—as at Vogue, we love to tell the story of style, fashion, and what is absolutely a part of the culture at the moment", hence why the magazine has decided to create podcasts.

''Vogue'' App

The app was introduced on April 26, 2016, as a way for the magazine to become more mobile friendly. The ''Vogue'' app displays content on mobile devices and gives people the ability to view the magazine content wherever they go. The app has new content every day and people can choose to receive content recommended just for their taste. In addition, the app allows one to save stories for later and or read offline. Lastly, the app provides notifications for fashion outbreaks and for new stories that are published pertaining to that viewer's particular taste.

''Vogue'' Business

The online fashion industry publication was launched in January 2019. The new property aims at offering a global perspective on the fashion industry with industry insights. Although sharing the Vogue brand name, ''Vogue Business'' is operated as a separate business entity with an independent editorial team.
In June 2019, ''Vogue Business'' launched the ''Vogue Business Talent'', a platform that promotes vacancies from international fashion brands and companies with the goal to match professionals with their job opportunities.

Other editions

In 2005, Condé Nast launched ''Men's Vogue''. The magazine ceased publication as an independent publication in October 2008, the December/January 2009 edition being its last issue. It was intended to be published as a supplement of ''Vogue'', the Spring 2009 edition being the last issue of the magazine altogether.

Condé Nast also publishes ''Teen Vogue'', a version of the magazine for teenage girls in the United States.

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.

However, in 1961, when Joan Chesney Frost was appointed editor of ''Vogue Australia'' and ''Vogue New Zealand'', the magazine's production was moved to Sydney. Under her leadership, the clothes began being photographed in New Zealand (however, until the mid 1960s, most photoshoots were in Australia). In 1962, Frost resigned and Sheila Scotter was appointed editor. Marie Stuttard (who became the first NZ-based fashion editor of the magazine in 1961) said in a 1983 interview "''We were able to choose our own clothes for photography, but they had to tie in with the trends as dictated by the organisation overseas. That was the guiding light. Whatever we did had to be approved by Australia.''" Under Scotter's leadership, Michal McKay became fashion and beauty editor (replacing Stuttard in 1964); she later became the editor-in-chief of Vogue Singapore in the 1990s.

The magazine also incorporated House & Garden from 1962.
