Who owns Vogue?

Vogue started as a weekly newspaper based in New York City in 1892. The first issue was published with a cover price of 10 cents. The idea behind the publication was to celebrate the "ceremonial side of life" and to attract "the sage as well as the debutante, men of affairs, as well as the belle."

The magazine has always targeted the upper class and is primarily concerned with fashion. In 1909, the magazine was purchased by Conde Nast. Nast changed the magazine to be strictly for women and expanded to include editions overseas. The price was also increased. The number of publications and profits increased dramatically.

In 1973, the magazine became a monthly publication and underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes to respond to changes in the lifestyle of its target audience. In 1988, Anna Wintour was named editor-in-chief, and she sought to revitalize the brand by making it younger and more approachable.

Vogue has gone on to become "the world's most influential fashion magazine," and Anna Wintour has been described as one of the most powerful figures in fashion.

Being a privately owned company, revenue information is not required to be released; however, it is estimated that Vogue has an annual revenue of approximately $886.2 million and approximately 2,600 employees.
