Tiffany Godoy to Step Down as Head of Editorial Content at Vogue Japan​

Condé Nast announced on Wednesday that Tiffany Godoy will step down as head of editorial content at Vogue Japan as of Oct. 31. In a continued global effort to restructure, president Jun Kitada will also be leaving the media company at the end of the year.

Godoy was appointed in 2022 to overseeVogue Japan’s editorial operations across print, digital, audio and video, leading the brand through a period of reinvention that included its 25th anniversary. The Tokyo-based editor also co-founded creative studio and magazine “The Reality Show,” and has released two books about Japanese fashion.

Kitada has served as president since 2010 and will step down at the end of December, with his successor expected to be announced in the coming months.

Godoy’s replacement is yet to be announced

I suspect we will begin to see more editor's hired after the 2021/2022 mass firings be replaced.

I'm currently trying to set up my resubscriptions for the year ahead (not an automatic process if you want to secure the cheapest rate).

From the drop-down boxes where you choose your 'start' issue, there doesn't seem to be any change in the proposed frequency for UK Tatler, Vogue and World of Interiors, but Vanity Fair goes a bit awry from May onwards.

My auto-subscription rate for Vogue was $74 or something. I've never canceled anything faster in my life. (I subsequently re-subscribed for around $30, I think).

L’Officiel Hommes in Paris, Italia, and USA seems to be moving from a biannual to quarterly schedule.

L’Officiel Hommes Asia is also launching, I’m not sure what the market for this publication is though? L’Officiel operates a mens edition in every single one of their Asian markets (except Japan, but it’s launching in 2026) already.

CURRENT STATE OF THE FASHION EDITORIAL IMAGE

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I am working on my thesis regarding the current state of the fashion image - how it has changed and why. I have gotten a feeling that most magazine lovers are for the most part "bored" with the fashion imagery produced today, (ex. Vogue US Kendall & Gigi), or simply "confused" (ex. Timothy Chalamet photoshopped on top of the planet lol).

I am happy to receive any of your thoughts on this, if you know a thread that actually discusses this, if you have any statistics. (ex. on studio vs location images made today in a magazine, or how many independant magazines has been launched recently).

The latter is interesting as an oppposition to the 'Print is dead' phrase - whereas I feel as if there has never been so many fashion publications?

I hope to get some conversations going here! Such an amazing platform!

Update Regarding Cosmopolitan and Esquire China​

PUBLISHED: NOV 17, 2025
On Friday, November 7, 2025, Hearst Magazines filed a lawsuit against Trends Publishing House (TPH) to safeguard its intellectual property rights in China. We have now received confirmation that the case was accepted by the Shanghai Pudong District Court on Monday, November 10, 2025.

In November 2023, Hearst announced that it had terminated its license agreements for Cosmopolitan and Esquire in China and requested that TPH cease and desist from any further use of the “Cosmopolitan” and “Esquire” brands. As set forth in a May 2025 arbitration ruling in the Netherlands, TPH admitted that TPH was not a party to these license agreements. Nevertheless, to this day, TPH has not complied with Hearst’s cease-and-desist demand and continues to use the “Cosmopolitan” and “Esquire” brands in magazines and on social media.

Since entering China in 1997, Hearst has partnered with trusted local partners to contribute to the country’s fashion media landscape and foster cultural exchange. We remain committed to China, our partners, and to showcasing Chinese creativity to audiences worldwide. We welcome strengthened protection of intellectual property in China and trust the legal system to safeguard the rights of brand owners.
