So Vogue, you've probably heard about it, its published around the world in 23 different countries by a publishing company called Conde Nast. It was created in 1892 and it is still going strong 124 years on.
In the early 1900's the magazine became more focused on women and the price rise and the pages within to be thicker and began to be exported to foreign countries like the UK , though by 1916 when World War 1 broke out that it became near impossible for Vogue to be exported to the UK so it was then decided that the UK would get their own edition of the fashion bible within 4 years of this very successful decision French Vogue was released.
It was in the early 1930's that American Vogue put a coloured photograph on it's cover, since then some of the World's most prestigious photographers contribute to the publication including Norman Parkinson, Richard Avedon, Mario Testino and Peter Lindberg just to name a few.It was in the 1960's that American Vogue who was edited now by Diana Vriland became the symbol of an era that was more creative, free and sexy. It was 1988 that Anna Wintour became the Chief Editor of Vogue who turned Vogue into the number one magazine that didn't just reflect the trends but shaped them.
Vogue magazine is normally directed at women over 25 but as the magazine has grown and evolved so has its audience with both men and women of all ages reading its glossy pages, Vogue has always been a big magazine and one of the most reliable sources of the fashion industry, because of this the people who grace its pages are famous movie stars, models and singers as well as the occasional politician.
