    About

    Vogue France, known as Vogue Paris until 2021, stands as the French edition of the iconic Vogue magazine. Launched in 1920, it quickly became a cornerstone of the fashion industry, celebrated for its distinct editorial voice and artistic photography. The magazine has shaped trends and launched careers, with editors like Edmonde Charles-Roux and Carine Roitfeld leaving their mark. Under the helm of Emmanuelle Alt from 2011 to 2021, the title maintained its reputation for chic, minimalist aesthetics. In 2021, the rebranding to Vogue France signaled a new chapter, aligning with the global Vogue network while retaining its Parisian soul. The magazine remains a must-read for fashion insiders, known for its high-profile covers and boundary-pushing content.

    Vogue Paris was originally founded as the French counterpart to the American Vogue, which Arthur Baldwin Turnure launched in New York on December 17, 1892, with a cover price of 10 cents. Condé Montrose Nast purchased the American magazine in 1909 and transformed it into a publishing empire. The French edition quickly established its own identity, becoming synonymous with avant-garde fashion photography and literary contributions. Over the decades, Vogue Paris has featured work by photographers such as Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton, and writers like Françoise Sagan.

    Today, Vogue France operates under Condé Nast, whose global headquarters are at One World Trade Center in New York. The parent company reaches more than 1 billion consumers across 32 markets. Vogue France publishes monthly issues, maintains a strong digital presence at vogue.fr, and engages audiences via social media, including Twitter (@vogueparis). The brand's total circulation across all Vogue editions reached 1,217,138 in 2025, making it the highest-circulation fashion magazine worldwide.
