Men's Vogue


Men's Vogue was a monthly men's magazine that covered culture, fashion, design, art, sports, and technology. The premier issue was August 2005; the magazine was published on a quarterly schedule. It subsequently went bimonthly before stepping up to a full ten issues a year in 2007. In 2008, Adweek named Men's Vogue "Startup of the Year." On October 30, 2008, Condé Nast announced that they would fold the magazine into Vogue proper as a biannual subscriber's supplement. The magazine has ceased to be published since its original folding date.

Cover stories

The magazine featured a cover profile of George Clooney in its inaugural issue. Subsequently, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Denzel Washington, Kiefer Sutherland, Viggo Mortensen, Tony Blair and Barack Obama, among other notable male subjects, were featured on the cover. The magazine received praise for its December 2007 issue, with Will Smith on the cover, for celebrating African-American men.

Content

The magazine featured celebrities, athletes, powerbrokers, and lesser known men of style. Areas covered included art and architecture, travel and food, politics and finance, books and sports, custom tailoring and fine watches, and other topics. The magazine added a tag line below its logo in November 2008, "Style is how you live."

Regular features

The magazine presented a yearly list of its chosen American visionaries. Recipients of the 2007 recognition included Ralph Lauren, actor Owen Wilson and director Wes Anderson. It also featured profiles in each issue of everyday stylish and successful men in its Life Studies section.

Personnel

The magazine was founded by Jay Fielden with support from Vogue's Anna Wintour. After Men's Vogue folded, Fielden became the editor of Hearst's Town & Country in 2011, and then the editor of Esquire, replacing David Granger in 2016. Photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Norman Jean Roy, Jonas Fredwall Karlsson, Max Vadukul, Raymond Meier, and Francesco Carrozzini shot regularly for the publication.
