Serbia mostly makes sense as it's the biggest market, and has a developed glossy industry (Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Grazia) in comparison to other former Yugoslav countries. When it comes to the fashion, international brands are more-or-less present in all the countries the same, while Serbia has the biggest local fashion and entertainment scenes.
This will basically be the Serbian edition of Vogue, as the founders are Serbian and it's registered and based in Belgrade, with local teams in Croatia and Slovenia.
When Harper's Bazaar Serbia launched in 2014, they also tried creating a magazine that would cover the advertising market and society (content-wise) of the Adria i.e. Balkans region, but it kinda did not pay off, so the magazine is just Serbian nowadays (altough it's being sold around Balkans).
I believe the same may happen with Vogue too.
This team produced some very decent Elle Serbia issues and covers back in 2010-2016 so I believe the may create something nice now as well. I hope Nataša Vojnović gets the first cover, she had numerous Elle covers under this team (along with Georgina Stojiljković).
It's not that random, many regional brands use this term, for example HBO Adria, MTV Adria, etc.
I do think "Vogue Balkans" would be more reasonable, but I guess people have prejudice around the term Balkans due to its "vibrant" history.

“Gisele is the only 90s/2000s model who has graced a Vogue cover every year of her career. Since her debut to now, 1997-2023. She has never gone a year without getting at least 1 Vogue cover. Wow,” the IG story post said. Brady’s ex holds the record for the most Vogue covers in history with over 145 cover features to date. The leading cover numbers stem from Vogue Mexico & Latin America, Vogue US and Vogue Paris cover editions.

Anna Wintour is seeking the perfect assistant: someone to ‘juggle multiple tasks at once’ and make up to $80,000 a year
Condé Nast has published the requirements to become the right hand of the all-powerful fashion editor: confidence, enthusiasm and a can-do attitude
/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com/prisa/3BMQNHY2QBHJJHTW4A27ZREA5M.jpg)
Fans of the now-cult classic The Devil Wears Prada can finally apply to their dream job, though for others it may be a nightmare. Anna Wintour is searching for the new Andy Sachs, the character played by Anne Hathaway in the film. The all-powerful fashion editor, currently global chief content officer at Condé Nast editorial group and editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, wants to find her new right hand and assistant. The film, which stars Hathaway and Meryl Streep, is inspired by a book that an ex-assistant of Wintour’s wrote about her demanding work conditions. Once again, reality is stranger than fiction. Anyone who fulfills a list of requirements can enter the running to play a key role in the powerful editor’s life.
According to the posted job listing, the chosen one will have to arrange the editor’s meetings, events and commitments, as well as supervising the communication with her New York office. It’s not an easy job, but as the movie says, “a million girls would kill for it.”
The job offer was published last week on the editorial group’s website, where anyone can apply for the position. But what requirements must a candidate have to work hand-in-hand with one of the most recognized and influential fashion journalists in the world? As the listing explains, the applicant should be an extremely organized person, capable of multitasking in a fast-paced environment and with strong verbal communication, interpersonal and collaboration skills, as well as time-management skills (including the ability to juggle multiple tasks at once).
Beyond the work requirements, the candidate will have to demonstrate “confidence, enthusiasm and a can-do attitude balanced by humility and a willingness to learn.” They must have a university degree and one to two years of work experience in the editorial, content or digital media industry. Whoever fulfills all the requirements will make between $60,000 and $80,000 a year, according to the candidate’s experience. “This is a tremendous opportunity for an ambitious, business-savvy professional who is passionate about culture, fashion, digital media, and content,” the offer says.
The salary has been widely criticized on social media, given the demands of the job and the tasks involved. Though it may seem glamorous, numerous ex-assistants of Wintour have shared horror stories about working for her. Lauren Weisberger, who was her right hand between 1999 and 2000, wrote The Devil Wears Prada in 2003 about her experience, basing the character of Andy Sachs on herself.
Almost 20 years later, history repeated itself. In a biography of Wintour published in 2022, titled Anna, an assistant alleged that the editor once forced her employees to remain seated at their desk, even if they needed to go to the bathroom, unless there was another assistant present. Though the work conditions, according to those who worked alongside her, are difficult, the new assistant won’t have to know the difference between turquoise, lapis lazuli and cerulean, nor will they have to get an exclusive advanced copy of the seventh Harry Potter book, as occurs in the film.
In addition to editing Vogue, Wintour also organizes the Met gala. She personally creates the guest list and chooses the industry professionals and public figures invited to one of the events of the year. But it is not a free invitation: each guest has to pay around $30,000 to confirm their attendance.

Great news, now they should go back to producing original content and not reprinting it from Vogue UK! It's the least they can do for these readers.

We all know that won’t happen. This just proves to Conde Nast that the new formula is working unfortunately.

On sales terms yes, that's all they care....
there is a big room for their competitors to beat them...but something must be appealing to their audience and the new readers...
I thought Elle was first....

Indeed very unfortunate that the increased readership means the doom of original content and the assurance of the success of shared content.
And more unfortunately, this means that Vogue remains a brand that people hold as the authoritative beacon of fashion literature. They don’t know nor care that its content has plummeted to new depths of low standards, that the quality is the equivalent of weekly tabloid trash. It’s the same reason even people here on TFS holds the Vogue brand in 2023 as the epitome of fashion presentation and feel excited and a sense of pride when their region has its own Vogue— when there are far better fashion publications produced from their own. The power of Vogue still holds sway, so unfortunately.
Some years ago (when I was still hopeful, untarnished and not beaten down by the industry LOL), I attempted to wrangle an international creative team to produce a fresh perspective of fashion presentation. This was about a decade ago— when fashion’s golden age was starting to fade, but still prevalent (…or to some with impossibly demanding standards— already faded. Well, take a gander now in 2023 and they’d likely wish for those 2013-fashion days back LOL). All was promising until people started to get offers, opportunities, positions with bigger brands/names, then any dedication to being a part of a new collective that could be a darkhorse, underdog, new vision— whatever we'd like to romanticize the venture as, went out the door and abandoned. It’s only human nature to pine to belong and associate with an established name brand, to be a part of the status quo. It’s the same reason even people like Nicolas Ghesquiere and Hedi Slimane will remain with the corporation rather than develop their own brand. And it’s why Vogue will endure. And at the current incarnation that is a blackhole of creativity, that’s very unfortunate.

Taken from one of Popbitch's regular emails... when anyone departs a high-profile job, tongues start wagging.

^^^ LOL Of course it was not all as it seemed. But good for him for his opportunistic instincts, as he recognized early on that victimhood is a community, and he rode it to the top with it, disposing of any lowly commoner— in this case, getting the security guard terminated to boost his own false narrative of racism. It’s a cutthroat and ruthless industry, and people will arm themselves with whatever advantages they can when they’re short on talent (and even that will only get one so far).
