Fact File on Vogue
















Vogue in 1917! Vogue 2008!


Vogue magazine started in the united states of America in 1892.
Vogue magazine was brought out as a weekly publication by Arthur Baldwin in 1892. After he died in 1909 Conde Nast took over the magazine and it slowly began growing. Conde Nast’s first change for the magazine was to change it to a bi-weekly instead of a weekly magazine. During 1910 Conde Nast went overseas with the magazine, first went to Britain and it was a success. Next they went to Spain which became a failure. Lastly went to France which was a massive success.
In 1973 Vogue became a monthly publication because of the editor-in-chief Grace Mirabella. The magazine went under editorial and stylistic changes, this was to respond to the changes in the life styles of their target market.

I Have chosen vogue as a competitor magazine for the simple reason that I like the sophistication of the magazine and how it looks glossy and classy. I also like the house style used in vogue magazine as it’s simple but stands out and is affected.
