Vogue!

The magazine that has influenced the way we see fashion. Vogue was originally a higher society marketed paper so to speak. It was produced in 1892 by Aurthur Baldwin Turnure. In it's early issues it was targeted at both high society men and women and mans sports were chronicled into the magazine, whereas today it's more of fashion orientated towards women. That soon changed in 1909 when a man named Cole Nast bought the magazine company. Nast attended Georgetown University. Nast is the one responsible for transforming Vogue into a woman's fashion magazine. His constant need to expand this magazine empire resulted in the creation of British Vogue in 1916. Today Nast's company now known as Conde Nast Publications owns magazines like, Glamour, Allure, W, GQ, and many more well renowned magazines. Conde Nast died in 1942 thus bringing a new commander and who we all know today as, Anna Wintour in 1988, who is editor and chief of Vogue magazine today. Anna Wintour began Teen Vogue, a fashion magazine targeted towards a younger audience in 2001 a fairly recent in-devour and a Men's Vogue in 2005. There are issues of Vogue across the world and it continues to be a very large success in the fashion world.
