The Business of Magazines

[lukechapman]

at least we can all save ourselves some money by never buying Vogue again.

 

[Paul Lintag]

They really should rename it Vogue France to make a distinction between the reprinted piece of crap incarnation and its previous glorious self that hosted such magical tributes to glamour and aspiration...

Paris is apparently no longer a key fashion market...go figure

They should just kill all editions and just create a single worldwide Vogue edition.

This has been Anna's goal. To be the supreme empress over all Vogue editions. I can't wait for this to fail and result to her being removed. She needs to go so we can go back to each edition having its own identity again.

I'll be patiently waiting for the press release that tries to convince us that Vogue becoming a single all-digital global publication is an innovative and exciting new chapter in Condé Nast's storied history...

This is the beginning of the end.

What I am personally becoming increasingly tired with is the babble which comes along with each new hiring and firing, like Condé Nast don't expect us to know this is an immense cost-cutting exercise and a massive ego trip for the likes of Anna Wintour.

It's because they think their readers are stupid. They think people will continue to be in awe at whatever Conde Nast produces, whether its bottom-of-the-barrel magazine content, or press releases instructing us about the genius restructuring moves they're making.

On this forum, we may not be representative of the public, because we're only a small number of people. But we are still a sort of barometer showing where this is headed, because when magazines produced today fail to appeal to the people who love the issues produced over the decades... if you can no longer sell your magazine to hardcore fans, what chance do you have with the casual ones?

So who decides what image/editorial will be used on the cover?

Never in a million years have I imagined that Vogue will be without EICs

For sure Head of Contents send their options to be approved by Edward or Anna....also for what i understand not all the issues will have the global covers, they still need to appeal their own market...

Interesting to know if both editions will keep their Fashion Director position... or just a fashion market director.

Vogue Itália don’t have a fashion director Vogue Spain don’t have one anymore. So I think that Vogue Paris will fire the Fashion Director too.

Since when do magazines care what people on Twitter say? He also said he got a job at Vogue Paris. I hope magazines and the fashion industry soon realize that Twitter is not real life.

 

[Les_Sucettes]

Yeah, a dumpster fire.

 

[Benn98]

I'm beginning to dread clicking on this thread because the updates are just far too depressing!

I'll miss Farrah!

 

[THD96]

If I know running my mouth could get me places like this, I would do it sooner. Is it too late, can I do it now?

Eugénie aesthetically is Alt 2.0, so people who want to have their monthly dose of jeans/denim editorials won't have to lose no sleep. I don't think they gonna change their aesthetic but Vogue Paris is "woke" now.

LVMH & Wertheimer don't be shy, cut their ad pages. See who got the last laugh.

Fingers crossed this Louis Pisano doesn’t put forward Kendall Jenner for a cover:



And I’m doubtful it’s the best idea to be boasting about dragging the creative directors of the two biggest French fashion houses.

Who is that sad little person who posted that?...i meant Louis Pisano....he has the same vibe as that character Pamboy.

I don't know if Eugene is Alt 2.0 because that place was occupied by Geraldine Saglio (what's gonna happen to her?)

I saw Eugene style and she wears a lot of dresses and miniskirts....the perks of being young i guess lol...her first cover will be october? november? december?

I don’t get the need to fire EICs still. Other the budget cuts.

ugh the level of stup…….

 

[cestmagique]

^they won't have enough of a role going forward; this new structure is making them irrelevant.

The thing is, Conde Nast aren't devaluing all their magazines - yesterday I got my subscription copies of Tatler and World of Interiors, and it was mentioned in a recent press release here that Tatler will be left alone, and so the posh glamour remains unaffected on the pages, and the latest issue of The World of Interiors was well over 300 pages, and full of eclectic content like seeing the rooms inside shipwrecks.

So at Conde Nast, print is still alive in some places, and they do believe in retaining some traditional values... you're just not going to see them in Vogue or GQ.

Even the AD are still creating good content (except the US one). I bought my boyfriend international titles of that magazine and was really, really surprised that they were thicker than my Vogues.

About time, they brought absolutely nothing to the table.

I'm surprised Allure is hanging on as a publication, but I suppose they need to keep the name alive and relevant in order to sell beauty boxes and pop-up stores.
