Vogue (stylized in all caps), also known as American Vogue, is a monthly fashion and lifestyle magazine that covers style news, including haute couture fashion, beauty, culture, living, and runway. It is part of the global collection of Condé Nast's VOGUE media.
Headquartered at One World Trade Center in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, Vogue began in 1892 as a weekly newspaper before becoming a monthly magazine years later. Since its founding, Vogue has featured numerous actors, musicians, models, athletes, and other prominent celebrities.
British Vogue, launched in 1916, was the first international edition, while the Italian version Vogue Italia has been called the top fashion magazine in the world.{{cite book |last=Press |first=Debbie |title=Your Modeling Career: You Don't Have to Be a Superstar to Succeed |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pkeaOOxb_isC&pg=PA16 |year=2004 |publisher=Allworth Press |location=New York |isbn=978-1-58115-359-0 |access-date=February 11, 2018 |archive-date=August 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810215624/https://books.google.com/books?id=pkeaOOxb_isC&pg=PA16 |url-status=live }} As of March 2025, there are 28 international editions.

History
=1892–1905: Early years=
Arthur Baldwin Turnure (1856–1906), an American businessman, founded Vogue as a weekly newspaper based in New York City, sponsored by Kristoffer Wright, with its first issue on December 17, 1892.Rowlands, Penelope (2008) [https://books.google.com/books?id=aD_q00HcIBkC&dq=1892+Arthur+Carmel+Snow&pg=PT78 A Dash of Daring: Carmel Snow and Her Life In Fashion, Art, and Letters] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230406074259/https://books.google.com/books?id=aD_q00HcIBkC&dq=1892+Arthur+Carmel+Snow&pg=PT78|date=April 6, 2023}} Simon & Schuster, Blitzkrieg 2001.Warren, Lynne (2005) [https://books.google.com/books?id=31VsBgAAQBAJ&dq=1892+Vogue&pg=PA308 Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century Photography, 3-Volume Set] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405094549/https://books.google.com/books?id=31VsBgAAQBAJ&dq=1892+Vogue&pg=PA308 |date=April 5, 2023 }} Routledge, 2005 The first issue was published with a cover price of 10 cents ({{Inflation|US|0.10|1892|r=2|fmt=eq|cursign=$}}).{{cite web |url=http://acculturated.com/2012/06/26/the-early-years-of-vogue-magazine/ |title=The Early Years of Vogue Magazine |last=Esfahani Smith |first=Emily |date=June 26, 2013 |website=acculterated.com |access-date=October 6, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131007130257/http://acculturated.com/2012/06/26/the-early-years-of-vogue-magazine/ |archive-date=October 7, 2013 |url-status=usurped}}
Turnure's intention was to create a publication that celebrated the "ceremonial side of life"; one that "attracts the sage as well as debutante, men of affairs, as well as the belle". From its inception the magazine intended to target the New York upper class by "recounting their habits, their leisure activities, their social gatherings, the places they frequented, and the clothing they wore{{nbsp}}... and everyone who wanted to look like them and enter their exclusive circle".{{cite web |url=http://go.galegroup.com/ps/retrieve.do?tabID=T003&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&searchResultsType=SingleTab&searchType=BasicSearchForm¤tPosition=2&docId=GALE%7CA163247690&docType=Book+review&sort=Relevance&contentSegment=&prodId=AONE&contentSet=GALE%7CA163247690&searchId=R1&userGroupName=pont19987&inPS=true |title=In Vogue: The Illustrated History of the World's Most Famous Fashion Magazine |last=Ludwin |first=Nancy Flinn |date=Jan–Feb 2007 |publisher=Gale Resources |url-access=registration |access-date=March 29, 2017 |archive-date=August 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810215704/https://galeapps.gale.com/apps/auth?userGroupName=pont19987&da=true&origURL=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.gale.com%2Fps%2Fretrieve.do%3FtabID%3DT003%26resultListType%3DRESULT_LIST%26searchResultsType%3DSingleTab%26searchType%3DBasicSearchForm%26currentPosition%3D2%26docId%3DGALE%257CA163247690%26docType%3DBook%2Breview%26sort%3DRelevance%26contentSegment%3D%26prodId%3DAONE%26contentSet%3DGALE%257CA163247690%26searchId%3DR1%26userGroupName%3Dpont19987%26inPS%3Dtrue&prodId=AONE |url-status=live }} The magazine at this time was primarily concerned with fashion, with coverage of sports and social affairs included for its male readership.
=1905–1920: Condé Nast=
Condé Montrose Nast purchased Vogue in 1909, three years after Turnure's death. He gradually developed the nature of the publication. Nast changed it to a women's magazine, and he started Vogue editions overseas in the 1910s. Its price was also raised. The magazine's number of publications and profit increased dramatically under Nast's management. It continued to target an upscale audience and expanded into the coverage of weddings. When the First World War made deliveries in the Europe impossible, printing for the European market began in England which then developed into separate national editions. The decision to print in England proved successful, causing Nast to release the first issue of French Vogue in 1920.

=1920–1970: Expansion=
The magazine's number of subscriptions surged during the Great Depression, and again during World War II. During this time, noted critic and former Vanity Fair editor Frank Crowninshield served as its editor, after moving from Vanity Fair by publisher Condé Nast.{{cite web |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/vintage/earlyyears |last=Fine Collins |first=Amy |title=Vanity Fair: The Early Years, 1914–1936 |publisher=Vanity Fair |access-date=July 18, 2007 |archive-date=July 13, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140713162133/http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/vintage/earlyyears |url-status=dead }}
In July 1932, American Vogue placed its first color photograph on the cover of the magazine. The photograph was taken by photographer Edward Jean Steichen and portrayed a woman swimmer holding a beach ball in the air.{{cite news |url=https://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/21/vogue-magazine-list-10-most-groundbreaking-covers-in-the-history-of-vogue/?_r=0 |title=The 10 Most Groundbreaking Covers in the History of Vogue |last=Oloizia |first=Jeff |work=T Magazine |date=August 21, 2014 |access-date=March 29, 2017 |language=en-US |archive-date=December 9, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151209125438/http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/21/vogue-magazine-list-10-most-groundbreaking-covers-in-the-history-of-vogue/?_r=0 |url-status=live }} Laird Borrelli notes that Vogue led the decline of fashion illustration in the late 1930s, when it began to replace its illustrated covers, by artists such as Dagmar Freuchen, with photographic images.{{cite book |title=Fashion Illustration Now |author=Laird Borrelli |edition=illustrated, reprint |publisher=Thames & Hudson |year=2000 |isbn=9780500282342 |quote=Fashion Illustration has gone from being one of the sole means of fashion communication to having a very minor role. The first photographic cover of Vogue was a watershed in the history of fashion illustration and a watershed mark of its decline. Photographs, no matter how altered or retouched, will always have some association with reality and by association truth. I like to think of them [fashion Illustrations] as prose poems and having more fictional narratives. They are more obviously filtered through an individual vision than photos. Illustration lives on, but in the position of a poor relative to the fashion.}} Nast was responsible for introducing color printing and the "two-page spread". He has been credited with turning Vogue into a "successful business" and the "women's magazine we recognize today", having substantially increased sales volumes until his death in 1942.{{cite news |url=https://acculturated.com/the-early-years-of-vogue-magazine/ |title=The Early Years of Vogue Magazine – Acculturated |date=June 26, 2012 |work=Acculturated |access-date=March 29, 2017 |language=en-US |archive-date=August 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180813011904/https://acculturated.com/the-early-years-of-vogue-magazine/ |url-status=usurped }}
In the 1950s, the decade known as the magazine's "powerful years",{{cite news |last=Whitman |first=Alden |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1974/09/24/archives/jessica-daves-of-vogue-is-dead-favored-readytowear-trend-went.html |title=Jessica Daves of Vogue is Dead |work=The New York Times |date=September 24, 1974 |access-date=December 1, 2019 |archive-date=February 22, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200222055636/https://www.nytimes.com/1974/09/24/archives/jessica-daves-of-vogue-is-dead-favored-readytowear-trend-went.html |url-status=live }} Jessica Daves became editor-in-chief. As Rebecca C. Tuite has noted, "Daves led a quiet charge for excellence during one of the most challenging, transformative, and rich decades in the magazine's history."{{cite book |title=1950s In Vogue: The Jessica Daves Years, 1952–1962 |author-link=Rebecca Tuite |last=Tuite |first=Rebecca C. |publisher=Thames & Hudson |year=2019 |isbn=978-0500294376 |location=London |pages=238, see note 16}} Daves believed that "taste is something that can be taught and learned",{{cite news |title=Editor Practices Style Magazine's Message |last=Hicks |first=Cordell |date=April 12, 1960 |work=Los Angeles Times |page=2: 4}} and she edited Vogue as "a vehicle to educate public taste". While fashion coverage remained a priority, Daves also elevated the written content of American Vogue, particularly championing more robust arts and literature features.
The Daves era of Vogue came to an end in 1962, when Diana Vreeland joined the magazine (first as associate editor, and then, following Daves's departure in December 1962, as editor-in-chief). The pair had opposed approaches to editing Vogue,{{cite magazine |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/1993/11/diana-vreeland-199311 |title=The Cult of Diana |last=Collins |first=Amy Fine |date=November 1993 |magazine=Vanity Fair |access-date=December 2, 2019 |archive-date=September 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200921141257/https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/1993/11/diana-vreeland-199311 |url-status=live }} and critics said that this led the magazine to a period of "extravagance, and luxury and excess".{{cite book |title=Alex: The Life of Alexander Liberman |last=Dodie Kazanjian and Calvin Tomkins |publisher=Alfred A. Knopf |year=1993 |location=New York |pages=281}} Under Vreeland, the magazine began to appeal to the youth of the sexual revolution by focusing on contemporary fashion and editorial features that openly discussed sexuality. Vogue extended coverage to include East Village boutiques, such as Limbo on St. Mark's Place, and it included features of personalities like Andy Warhol's "Superstars".Vogue (February 15, 1968) 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.{{cite news |last=Dwight |first=Eleanor |title=The Divine Mrs. V |work=New York |url=https://nymag.com/nymetro/shopping/fashion/features/n_7930/index1.html |access-date=November 18, 2007 |archive-date=June 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619190053/http://nymag.com/nymetro/shopping/fashion/features/n_7930/index1.html |url-status=live }}
In 1973, Vogue became a monthly publication.{{cite web|url=http://ecollections.scad.edu/iii/cpro/DigitalItemViewPage.external;jsessionid=4CAA1806EA85BBBAD19144D331B817CA?lang=eng&sp=1001279&sp=T&sp=1&suite=def|title=Advertisement – Vogue Magazinec|website=ecollections.scad.edu|publisher=Scad Libraries|access-date=October 7, 2013|archive-date=April 10, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410145919/http://ecollections.scad.edu/iii/cpro/DigitalItemViewPage.external;jsessionid=4CAA1806EA85BBBAD19144D331B817CA?lang=eng&sp=1001279&sp=T&sp=1&suite=def|url-status=dead}} Under editor-in-chief Grace Mirabella, the magazine underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes in response to changes of its target audience.{{cite book |last=Mirabella |first=Grace |author-link=Grace Mirabella |title=In and Out of Vogue |publisher=Doubleday |year=1995}} Mirabella states that she was chosen to change Vogue, because "women weren't interested in reading about or buying clothes that served no purpose in their changing lives."{{cite web |url=http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=AONE&sw=w&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CA17349577&asid=5066a358fca5863704a313a041fed540 |title=Grace Under Pressure |date=1995 |website=Gale Resources |access-date=August 10, 2023 |archive-date=August 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810215608/https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AONE&sw=w&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CA17349577&asid=5066a358fca5863704a313a041fed540&userGroupName=anon%7Ebec262e&aty=open-web-entry |url-status=live }} She was selected to make the magazine appeal to "the free, working, "liberated" woman of the seventies. The magazine changed in terms of interviews, arts coverage, and articles. When this stylistic change fell out of favor in the 1980s, Mirabella was fired.
Well-known fashion photographers for the magazine include:
- Erwin Blumenfeld (1897–1969)
- Cecil Beaton (1904–1980)
- Horst P. Horst (1906–1999)
- Regina Relang (1906–1989)

=1988–present: Anna Wintour leadership=
In July 1988, with Vogue losing readership and advertising to its rival Elle, Anna Wintour was named editor-in-chief.{{cite web |title=Vogue – Editor-in-chief Bio |url=http://www.condenast.com/brands/vogue/editor |publisher=Condé Nast |access-date=May 16, 2013 |date=May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514045630/http://www.condenast.com/brands/vogue/editor |archive-date=May 14, 2013 |url-status=dead}}{{cite web |url=http://www.biography.com/people/anna-wintour-214147 |title=Anna Wintour |website=Biography |language=en-us |access-date=March 29, 2017 |archive-date=March 26, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170326064129/http://www.biography.com/people/anna-wintour-214147 |url-status=live }} Noted for her trademark bob cut and sunglasses, Wintour attempted to revitalize the brand by making it feel younger and more approachable;{{cite book |last=Coddington |first=Grace |author-link=Grace Coddington |title=Grace: A Memoir |year=2012 |publisher=Random House |location=New York |isbn=978-0449808061}} she directed the focus towards new and accessible concepts of "fashion" for a wider audience.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.time.com/time/2004/style/020904/power/3.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040210202948/http://www.time.com/time/2004/style/020904/power/3.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 10, 2004 |last=Orecklin |first=Michelle |title=The Power List: Women in Fashion, No 3 Anna Wintour |magazine=Time |date=February 9, 2004 |access-date=January 29, 2007}} Wintour's influence allowed the magazine to maintain its high circulation, while staff discovered new trends that a broader audience could conceivably afford.
Throughout her reign at Vogue, Wintour accomplished her goals to revitalize the magazine and oversaw production of some of its largest editions. The September 2012 edition measured 916 pages, which was the highest ever for a monthly magazine. Wintour continues to be American Vogue{{'}}s editor-in-chief.
The contrast of Wintour's vision with that of her predecessors was noted as striking by observers, both critics and defenders. Amanda Fortini, fashion and style contributor for Slate, argues that her policy has been beneficial for Vogue, delivering it from what some critics had termed its boring "beige years".{{cite journal |url=http://www.slate.com/id/2113278 |last=Fortini |first=Amanda |title=Defending Vogue's Evil Genius: The Brilliance of Anna Wintour |journal=Slate |date=February 10, 2005 |access-date=January 29, 2007 |archive-date=September 19, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110919085652/http://www.slate.com/id/2113278/ |url-status=live }}
{{blockquote| Among Condé Nast executives, there was worry that the grand dame of fashion publications was losing ground to Elle, which in just three years had reached a paid circulation of 851,000, compared to Vogue{{'}}s 1.2 million. Thus, Condé Nast publisher Si Newhouse brought in the 38-year-old Wintour, who, through editor-in-chief positions at British Vogue and House & Garden, had become known not only for her cutting-edge visual sense, but also for her ability to radically revamp a magazine—to shake things up.}} Although she has had a strong impact on the magazine, Wintour has been pinned as being cold and difficult to work with. The most recent change, as of early 2024, in Vogue magazine is the return of Raul Martinez as global creative editor. As the creative director, he reports to Wintour and oversees the direction for the magazine globally and its visual approach. With both personalities, the magazine could take an interesting turn.{{Cite web |last=Guthrie |first=Marisa |date=2024-01-05 |title=Raúl Martinez Returns to Vogue as Global Creative Director |url=https://wwd.com/business-news/media/raul-martinez-returns-vogue-global-creative-director-1236109689/ |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=WWD |language=en-US}}

May 2013 marked the first anniversary of a healthy body initiative that was signed by the magazine's international editors—the initiative represents a commitment from the editors to promote positive body images within the content of Vogue
In the magazine we're moving away from those very young, very thin girls. A year down the track, we ask ourselves what can Vogue do about it? And an issue like this [June 2013 issue] is what we can do about it. If I was aware of a girl being ill on a photo shoot I wouldn't allow that shoot to go ahead, or if a girl had an eating disorder I would not shoot her.{{cite news |last=Traill-Nash |first=Glynis |title=Vogue eager to make an issue of 'real' women |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/fashion/vogue-eager-to-make-an-issue-of-real-women/story-e6frg8k6-1226644826840 |access-date=16 May 2013 |newspaper=The Australian |date=17 May 2013 |archive-date=May 30, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530153403/http://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/fashion/vogue-eager-to-make-an-issue-of-real-women/story-e6frg8k6-1226644826840 |url-status=live }}

Wintour's "Fashion Night" initiative was launched in 2009 with the intention of kickstarting the economy following the 2008 financial crisis, by drawing people back into the retail environment and donating proceeds to various charitable causes. The event was co-hosted by Vogue in 27 cities around the US and 15 countries worldwide, and included online retailers at the beginning of 2011.{{cite news |last=Garton |first=Christie |title=Fashion's Night Out mobilized fashionistas worldwide for good. |url=http://yourlife.usatoday.com/mind-soul/doing-good/kindness/post/2010/09/Fashions-Night-Out-mobilized-fashionistas-worldwide-for-good-/111861/1 |work=USA Today |access-date=May 13, 2011 |archive-date=March 20, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320004047/http://yourlife.usatoday.com/mind-soul/doing-good/kindness/post/2010/09/Fashions-Night-Out-mobilized-fashionistas-worldwide-for-good-/111861/1 |url-status=dead }} Debate occurred over the actual profitability of the event in the US, resulting in a potentially permanent hiatus in 2013; however, the event continues in 19 other locations internationally.{{citation |last=Krupnick |first=Ellie |title=Fashion's Night Out 2013 On 'Hiatus' In New York City |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/fashions-night-out-2013-new-york_n_2772795.html |publisher=Huffington Post |date=February 27, 2013 |access-date=October 10, 2020 |archive-date=December 29, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229101406/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/fashions-night-out-2013-new-york_n_2772795.html |url-status=live }} Vogue also has the ability to lift the spirits of readers during tough times and revels that "even in bad times, someone is up for a good time."

Wintour stated: "Through the school, we could not only help women in Afghanistan to look and feel better but also give them employment." A documentary by Liz Mermin, entitled The Beauty Academy of Kabul, which highlighted the proliferation of Western standards of beauty, criticized the school, suggesting that "the beauty school could not be judged a success if it did not create a demand for American cosmetics."{{cite news |last=Bose |first=Purnima |title=A Cosmetic Cover for Occupation |url=http://www.solidarity-us.org/site/node/2368 |work=Solidarity |date=September–October 2009 |access-date=October 6, 2013 |archive-date=January 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127141715/http://www.solidarity-us.org/site/node/2368 |url-status=live }}

The Met Gala is an annual event that is hosted by Vogue to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibit. The Met Gala is the most coveted event of the year in the field of fashion and is attended by A-list celebrities, politicians, designers and fashion editors. Vogue has hosted the themed event since 1971 under editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland. Since 1995, Anna Wintour, who is Vogue's chief content officer and global editorial director, served as chairwoman of the Met Gala, and is the woman behind the coveted event's top-secret guest list. In 2013, Vogue released a special edition of Vogue entitled Vogue Special Edition: The Definitive Inside Look at the 2013 Met Gala.{{cite web |url=http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/special-edition-vogue-met-gala-2013/#1 |title=Vogue Special Edition: The Definitive Inside Look at the 2013 Met Gala—on Newsstands Now – Vogue Daily – Fashion and Beauty News and Features |date=2013-10-08 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131008184408/http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/special-edition-vogue-met-gala-2013/#1 |archive-date=8 October 2013 |access-date=2019-10-30}} Vogue has produced about 70 videos about this event for YouTube exclusively, that includes pre-coverage, live reporting and post-event analysis.

Criticism
As Wintour came to personify the magazine's image, both she and Vogue drew critics. Wintour's one-time assistant at the magazine, Lauren Weisberger, wrote a roman à clef entitled The Devil Wears Prada. Published in 2003, the novel became a bestseller and was adapted as a highly successful, Academy Award-nominated film in 2006.{{citation |title=The Devil Wears Prada |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/awards |date=June 30, 2006 |access-date=February 8, 2016 |first=David |last=Frankel |archive-date=March 11, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160311122442/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/awards |url-status=live }} The central character resembled Weisberger, and her boss was a powerful editor-in-chief of a fictionalized version of Vogue. The novel portrays a magazine ruled by "the Antichrist and her coterie of fashionistas, who exist on cigarettes, Diet Dr Pepper, and mixed green salads", according to a review in The New York Times. The editor is described by Weisberger as being "an empty, shallow, bitter woman who has tons and tons of gorgeous clothes and not much else".{{cite news |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9507EED61F39F930A25757C0A9659C8B63&sec=&pagewanted=all |last=Betts |first=Kate |title=Anna Dearest |work=The New York Times |date=April 13, 2003 |access-date=January 29, 2007 |archive-date=October 15, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015120355/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9507EED61F39F930A25757C0A9659C8B63&sec=&pagewanted=all |url-status=live }} However, despite the slight defamation of Wintour and Vogue magazine in general, the image of both editor and high-class magazine were not diminished. The success of both the novel and the film brought new attention from a wide global audience to the power and glamour of the magazine, and the industry it continues to lead.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/28/fashion/28ROW.html |last=Wilson |first=Eric |title=The Devil Likes Attention |work=The New York Times |date=December 28, 2006 |access-date=January 29, 2007 |archive-date=March 9, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090309234913/http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/28/fashion/28ROW.html |url-status=live }}
In 2007, Vogue drew criticism from the anti-smoking group "Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids", for carrying tobacco advertisements in the magazine. The group claims that volunteers sent the magazine more than 8,000 protest emails or faxes regarding the ads. The group also claimed that in response, they received scribbled notes faxed back on letters that had been addressed to Wintour stating, "Will you stop? You're killing trees!"{{cite news |last=Noveck |first=Jocelyn |title=Fashion Mags Anger Some With Tobacco Ads |work=San Francisco Chronicle |agency=Associated Press |date=May 30, 2007 |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/05/30/national/a133947D71.DTL |access-date=November 18, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070531211635/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=%2Fn%2Fa%2F2007%2F05%2F30%2Fnational%2Fa133947D71.DTL |archive-date=May 31, 2007 |url-status=dead}} In response, a spokesperson for Condé Nast released an official statement: "Vogue does carry tobacco advertising.

In April 2008, American Vogue featured a cover photo by photographer Annie Leibovitz of Gisele Bündchen and the basketball player LeBron James. This was the third time that Vogue featured a male on the cover of the American issue (the other two men were actors George Clooney and Richard Gere), and the first in which the man was black. Some observers criticized the cover as a prejudicial depiction of James because his pose with Bündchen was reminiscent of a poster for the film King Kong.{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2008-03-24-vogue-controversy_N.htm?csp=3 |title=LeBron James' 'Vogue' cover called racially insensitive |last=Scott |first=Megan K. |work=USA Today |agency=Associated Press |date=March 24, 2008 |access-date=March 31, 2008 |archive-date=March 30, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080330054625/http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2008-03-24-vogue-controversy_N.htm?csp=3 |url-status=live }} Further criticism arose when the website Watching the Watchers analyzed the photo alongside the World War I recruitment poster titled Destroy This Mad Brute.{{cite web |url=http://watchingthewatchers.org/news/1378/annie-leibovitz-monkeys-around-lebron |first=Rogers |last=Cadenhead |title=Annie Leibovitz Monkeys Around with LeBron James |date=March 28, 2008 |access-date=December 30, 2009 |archive-date=May 18, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100518121831/http://watchingthewatchers.org/news/1378/annie-leibovitz-monkeys-around-lebron |url-status=live }} However, James reportedly liked the cover shoot.{{cite web |title=LeBron James' Vogue cover draws criticism |url=https://www.cleveland.com/sports/2008/03/lebron_james_vogue_cover_draws.html |last1=Campbell |first1=David |last2=clevel |date=2008-03-23 |website=cleveland |access-date=2020-05-30 |last3=.com |archive-date=April 6, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230406143924/https://www.cleveland.com/sports/2008/03/lebron_james_vogue_cover_draws.html |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=Vogue cover with LeBron stirs up controversy |url=http://www.today.com/news/vogue-cover-lebron-stirs-controversy-wbna23797883 |website=TODAY.com |date=March 25, 2008 |access-date=2020-05-30 |archive-date=April 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230415081954/https://www.today.com/news/vogue-cover-lebron-stirs-controversy-wbna23797883 |url-status=live }}

In 2009, the feature-length documentary The September Issue was released; it was an inside view of the production of the record-breaking September 2007 issue of U.S. Vogue, directed by R. J. Cutler. The film was shot over eight months as Wintour prepared the issue, and included testy exchanges between Wintour and her creative director Grace Coddington.

In 1955, British Vogue launched a supplement for New Zealand.{{Cite web |title=Vogue New Zealand |url=https://tepuna.on.worldcat.org/search/detail/173439654?queryString=Vogue&commit=Search&subformat=Jrnl%3A%3Ajrnl_other&changedFacet=format&clusterResults=true&groupVariantRecords=false&page=3 |website=National Library of New Zealand}} In 1957, the magazine was launched no longer as a supplement but as its own independent edition; however, it was still edited from London.{{Cite web |title=New Zealand once had its own Vogue! |url=https://www.remixmagazine.com/fashion/new-zealand-vogue/ |access-date=2024-12-02 |website=Remix |language=en}} In the magazine's early years, its focus was on Britain with readers being encouraged to use British materials, New Zealand clothing would even be flown out to be photographed in English settings.
However, in 1961, when Joan Chesney Frost was appointed editor of Vogue Australia and Vogue New Zealand, the magazine's production was moved to Sydney. Under her leadership, the clothes began being photographed in New Zealand (however, until the mid 1960s, most photoshoots were in Australia).{{Cite web |title=Marie Stuttard |url=https://nzfashionmuseum.org.nz/marie-stuttard/ |access-date=2024-12-02 |website=www.nzfashionmuseum.org.nz |language=en}} In 1962, Frost resigned and Sheila Scotter was appointed editor.

That was the guiding light. Whatever we did had to be approved by Australia." Under Scotter's leadership, Michal McKay became fashion and beauty editor (replacing Stuttard in 1964); she later became the editor-in-chief of Vogue Singapore in the 1990s.{{Cite web |date=2024-03-19 |title=Former New Zealand Vogue editor Michal McKay has died, leaving an indelible legacy |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/viva/fashion/former-new-zealand-vogue-editor-michal-mckay-has-died-leaving-an-indelible-legacy/4XTQAY43BVCDPP3622QUTNJ7WA/ |access-date=2024-12-02 |website=The New Zealand Herald |language=en-NZ}}
The magazine also incorporated House & Garden from 1962.
In 1968, after over 10 years, the magazine ceased publication with Condé Nast deciding that the New Zealand market was too small for a Vogue.
