UK Vogue April 2025 : Bella Ramsey by Paolo Roversi

All the Conde Nast owned Vogue’s closed their sister publications around 2015-2022 (I think Italian Vogue shared its titles with Italian Vanity Fair for a while?).

Except Vogue France Collections and Chinese Vogue has its Beauty paper, Film and Plus editions.
Vogue Mexico seems to have Vogue Belleza and Vogue Hombre, too.
 
Completely forget about Mexican Vogue, I also think they have a Shopping and Travel issue (or supplement)
VM still have those supplements. I have seen here attached to the main issue last year, but the ones I get in my local newsstand they're taken away. I have seen Vogue Hombre and Vogue Joyas months ago. Travel Guide comes every December with all the issues that arrive, which is weird.
 
No sign of my print subscription yet, but the digital copy is out, it's showing 246 pages, but the actual page count is probably closer to 224 pages (there must be a lot of gatefold ads in this issue added into that digital page count).

In the main editorial section:

- You've seen the cover story
- There's an interview/shoot with Jorja Smith, which is online
- FUTURE VINTAGE shot/styled by Venetia Scott seems to be one of this month's widely reprinted editorials
- An interview with Mary Berry, shot by Martin Parr
- A David Hockney feature, sounds like it was also in US Vogue
- ALWAYS IN VOGUE by Theo de Gueltzl, styled by Amanada Harlech, probably a reprint
- That reprinted feature with Karen Elson and her daughter Scarlett
- Back page is "What Would Elin Kling Do?"

None of the content appeals to me on a personal level, but I'm trying to not dismiss it out of hand, just because I could see the same editorial six times over - I've had to stop myself looking through the digital versions of other Vogues, because it was driving me away from being able to appreciate the content of ANY edition.

I do feel that Conde Nast has made more of an effort in the past few months, perhaps they realised their content had become a wasteland with nothing much on offer, certainly not in the way of persuading people to spend their money on ever more expensive designer items.

I feel the theme of this issue is 'vintage' but I'd need to sit down with the entire issue - I suspect it might go hand-in-hand with the commercial relationship Vogue currently has with ebay.
 
FUTURE VINTAGE shot/styled by Venetia Scott seems to be one of this month's widely reprinted editorials
This fashion story is not published in the April issue of US Vogue. I have not seen it posted anywhere at TFS either. I am intrigued.
 
You could be right, I might be confusing it with the Amanda Harlech one, these days I spare Vogue about as much care and attention as they do about their readers.

I might even be becoming.... a casual reader. Which is one step away from someone who cancels their subscription entirely.

Over the years, I've gone from "I'm sad at the thought of dying because it means I'll never get to see the next issue of Vogue Italia" to not even caring whether it continues to exist.

I DIDN'T CHANGE, CONDE NAST, YOU DID.

I was going through my Nova mazgine where Venetia served as fashion director last night...I have to say I prefer her style late 90's/early 00's. This is too dusky now...

I always observe what Venetia does. Not particularly eye-catching images at a glance but she's that rare bird in the editorial sphere who often styles her own photographs, therefore it's almost like she has carte blanche, about 80% total control of the image. Her pov also is pronounced, insular. She's interesting.
