Vogue is a world fashion and lifestyle magazine that is
published monthly. The word vogue means style in French.
History of the people behind Vogue.
Arthur Turnure founded vogue as a weekly publication in
the United States in 1892. The first issue was published on December 17 that
year. The magazine at this time was
primarily concerned with fashion, with coverage of sports and social affairs
included for its male readership.
In 1905 Condé Montrose Nast bought Vogue one year
before Arthur Turnure died and gradually grew the publication. He changed the magazine
to a bi-weekly and also started to set up more Vogues overseas in 1910. He
first visited Britain in 1916 and set up a Vogue there, followed by Britain was
Spain and then Italy and France in 1920.
1920s–1970s
In the late 1930’s Vogue decided to replace their celebrated illustrated covers with Photographic Images. Later on in 1960’s, with Diana Vreeland as editor - in – chief and personality, the magazine began to appeal to the youth of the sexual revolution by focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features that openly discussed sexuality.

Vogue also continued making
household names out of models, a practice that continued with Suzy Parker, Twiggy,
Jean Shrimpton, Lauren Hutton, Veruschka, Marisa Berenson, Penelope Tree, and
others.
In July of 1988, Anna Wintour became editor – in –chief of American Vogue. She focused more towards new and accessible concepts of ‘fashion’ for a wider audience. Her influence allowed the magazine to maintain its high circulation, while staff discovered new trends that a broader audience could conceivably afford. She is now the head of Vogue.
