Vogue fact file

Vogue is an American fashion and lifestyle magazine that is published monthly

in 21 national and regional editions by Condé Nast.

Vogue was produced in 1892 by Arthur Turnure; it was published weekly in

America and was sponsored by Kristoffer Wright. After Arthur passed away in

1909 Condé Montrose Nast picked up the magazine and began its growing

publication.

Many countries publish Vogue such as Australia with the editor being Edwina

McCann and Portugal with Paula Mateus the editor. The current editor-in-

chief of American Vogue is Anna Wintour, noted for her trademark bob and her

trademark sunglasses she always wears indoors. Condé Nast is the company that

publishes Vogue and it is situated in the United States. The magazine is now

published monthly selling 1,248,121 magazines in 2011.

Vogue magazine uses celebrities that are slim, beautiful and well known. In

America some models used in earlier publishing were, Audrey Hepburn, twiggy,

Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham.Some more recent models are, Jennifer

Aniston, Natalie Portman, Sandra Bullock and Emma Watson.

Vogue usually publishes stories such as latest trends, fashion tips, cultural

trends, celeb news, website links to best shops,hair styles, new season fashion

and many more. Vogue are almost the trend setters in fashion, whatever is in a

Vogue mag is usually the trend that is out at that moment in time.

The target audience for Vogue is probably intended from ages of 17-50; this is

because within a Vogue magazine there is not just one trend but many trends of

women all ages. There is pages on teen fashion, looking young, keeping healthy

hair which suggests that the target audience is aimed at mostly ages of women.

This is because if the target audience is larger thenmore magazines will be sold

to the public, keeping Vogue global and well known.

Vogue doesn’t get much criticism but when it does it is because of the stories it

covers. For example Vogue published a small article on tobacco which received

complaints from anti-smoking campaigns.
