1. Fashion Magazine

Fashion magazines are an essential component of the fashion industry.

They are the medium that conveys and promotes the design's vision to the
eventual purchaser. Balancing the priorities has led to the diversity of the
modern periodical market. Fashion news rarely reappeared in periodical
literature until the mid-eighteenth century when it was included in the
popular ladies handbooks and diaries. Apparently in response to readers'
requests, such coverage to the popular Lady's Magazine (1770–1832) was
added to the genteel poems, music, and fiction that other journals were
already offering to their middle-class readers. In the 1982, the first issue of
Vogue saw the light.

Established in the 1892, Vogue has such an illustrious and colourful history
it is in fact an institution in the world of fashion. In 1909 the magazine was
acquired by Conde Naste Publishers. The magazine’s volume became
thicker and its main focus was turned on women. Naturally, the price was
raised as well. During 1960, the magazine include articles about sexuality
during the height of feminism,the creation of Teen Vogue, the Vogue
channel (via its website), books, and Voguepedia, which chronicles the
history of fashion and more since the late 1980s. Another important period
in American Vogue history began in 1988, when Anna Wintour became its
Chief Editor. Her talent, will and efficiency, reflected in The Devil Wears
Prada movie, had finally turned Vogue into Nr1 Fashion Magazine of the
World, not just reflecting fashion trends, but effectively shaping them.
Nowadays, Vogue publishes approximately 20 editions around the world,
which means it that it read by women and men from diverse backgrounds
