Vogue was first founded in 1892 by Arthur Baldwin Turnure. During this time Vogue was a weekly publication. In 1909 Arthur Baldwin Turnure passed away and Conde Nast took over.

The magazine then went onto feature many popular models. Many of these models got their start with Vogue magazine. In 1973 the magazine began monthly publications. The now editor in chief of the American Vogue is Anna Wintour. She took over in 1988. She has worked steadily to make the ideas of fashion available to all of her audiences.

Vogue is not without its share of criticism. In 2003 Lauren Weisberger who was Anna Wintours one time assistant wrote a book entitled The Devil Wears Prada. This book which showed the details of working for a fashion magazine and how cruel the fashion world can be. This book later went on to become an Academy Award nominated film in 2006. In the year 2007 Vogue was targeted by an anti-smoking group. They said that this magazine should not carry advertisements for tobacco products. Another controversy with Vogue was the 2008 April cover. This cover depicted supermodel Gisel Bundchen and LeBron James. It was said to be a prejudiced picture of James and was reminiscent to King Kong. Many people protested this cover but it went on to be a success and highly purchased.
