Vogue is a fashion and lifestyle magazine published in nine countries by Cond¨¦ Nast Publications. The American version of Vogue is edited by Anna Wintour, an Englishwoman who is a longtime resident of New York City. Each month, Vogue publishes a magazine based entirely on fashion, life and design. Vogue is so named because it is said to suggest transient impermanent fashionability.

Vogue was described by book critic Caroline Weber in The New York Times in December 2006 as "the world's most influential fashion magazine":

¡° Vogue is to our era what the idea of God was, in Voltaire¡¯s famous parlance, to his: if it didn¡¯t exist, we would have to invent it. Revered for its editorial excellence and its visual panache, the magazine has long functioned as a bible for anyone worshiping at the altar of luxury, celebrity and style. And while we perhaps take for granted the extent to which this trinity dominates consumer culture today, Vogue¡¯s role in catalyzing its rise to pre-eminence cannot be underestimated. ¡±

Vogue was founded by Arthur Baldwin Turnure in 1892. When he passed away in 1909, Conde Nast picked it up and slowly began growing the publication. Today, there are different editions of Vogue published around the world: Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the United States. Under the ownership of New York-based magazine publisher Cond¨¦ Nast and through a succession of women editors, Vogue is most famous as a presenter of images of high fashion and high society, but it also publishes writings on art, culture, politics, and ideas. On the way, it has helped to enshrine the fashion model as celebrity. Vogue is regularly criticized, along with the fashion industry it writes about, for valuing wealth, social connections, and low body weight over more noble achievements. The magazine celebrated its 114th birthday in 2006.

The magazine surged in subscriptions during the Depression and World War II, a period during which noted critic and former Vanity Fair editor Frank Crowninshield served as its editor, having been moved over from Vanity Fair by publisher Cond¨¦ Nast.
