Vogue

1 Vogue is a fashion and lifestyle magazine published in eighteen countries by Condé Nast Publications.
2 Vogue was described by book critic Caroline Weber in The New York Times in December 2006 as ‘the
world's most influential fashion magazine’.
3 Vogue was founded by Arthur Baldwin Turnure in 1892.
4 When he passed away in 1909, Conde Nast picked it up and slowly began growing the publication.
5 As current editor-in-chief Anna Wintour came to personify the magazine’s image in the 90s and beyond,
she and Vogue drew critics.
6 Wintour’s one-time assistant at the magazine, Lauren Weisberger, authored a ‘roman à clef’ entitled ‘The
Devil Wears Prada’, a best-selling novel published in 2003 which was made into a highly successful,
Academy Award-nominated film in 2006.
The central character in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ resembled Weisberger, and her boss was a powerful
editor-in-chief of a fictionalized version of Vogue.
7 The success of both the novel and the film has brought new attention from a wide global audience to the
power and glamour of the magazine, and the industry it continues to lead.
