History of VOGUE Magazine.

Yesterday I watched the movie 'The September Issue'. It's an American documentary film about the behind-the-scenes drama that follows editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and her staff during the production of the September 2007 issue of American Vogue Magazine. Too bad I didn't watch the movie previously. But it was sold out.. everywhere! I loved the movie and I learned a lot about Vogue Magazine. Especially about how it's going on behind the scenes! Very interesting. But what's the history of Vogue Magazine? That wasn't a part of the film. So I'm going to find out what the history of this famous  magazine exactly is.                    

                                                                                                     

In 1892, Arthur Tunure founded Vogue as a weekly publication (In the United States). When he died in 1909 Condé Montrose Nast picked up the magazine and it slowly became a little bit popular. He changed it to a bi-weekly magazine and also started Vogue overseas starting in the 1910s. He first went to Britain and started a Vogue there, then to Spain and then to Italy and France (1920), Where it was a huge succes. In 1932 the American Vogue for the first time ever had placed a color photography on its cover. (Before it were drawings)
In the 1960s, with Diana Vreeland as editor-in-chief, the magazine began to focus more on fashion. Vogue also continued making household names out of models.
In 1973, Vogue became a monthly publication. Under editor-in-chief Grace Mirabella. The magazine changed a lot since then. The magazine underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes respond to changes in lifestyles of its target audience.
Another important period in the American Vogue history began in 1988, when Anna Wintour became its editor-in-chief. Who's the current editor-in-chief.
Since then, Vogue became the number 1 magazine in the world.
Have you ever read the Vogue? And did you love it?
