VOGUE magazines - ranking order

[Zeitgeist]

I know this is a difficult question which cannot be answered in absolute terms and accuracy, but if you could divide the different editions of VOGUE magazine in - let's say - A-list, B-list and C-list, how would you rank them?

I'd say for example:

A-list
Vogue US
Vogue Paris

^I pretty much agree with that assessment. Except that I think that of the top 4 editions, US Vogue is obviously number 1 and the other three belong together in the second spot.

 

[A.D.C.]

I totally agree with creative's list. Maybe I would move Espana down to C-list though just because in terms of economies Japan, Russia, China, and Germaby are much larger and maybe I'd bumped Turkey to D list. since Spain, Australia, and Brazil editions are pretty equal. As far as D List goes the only one that should really even exist is maybe India although I find it the campiest vogue.

I once read that Vogue España was among the most profitable Vogue editions in the world. They have the most popular web after Vogue China's and it's one of the best selling Vogues (more than Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, Germany, Japan and so on).

In terms of quality it's super C-list, that's for sure.

I agree, Vogue Turkey could perfectly fit in the D-list category, but it's slightly better than the rest (or used to be at the beggining).

I would also close down all those creepy Vogues... They are degrading Vogue's prestige in a way.

^I pretty much agree with that list. I'd probably move Portugal down to D-list, and... isn't UK one of the 'big four'?

 

[chanelh]

taiwai should be on E-list itself

Are Vogue India and Taiwan *really* THAT bad?

I mean, I know they're really lame compared to most other editions of Vogue, but they feel so far removed from the other editions of Vogue as well. I mean doesn't Vogue India pretty much do exactly Vogue US does except with Bollywood actresses? Is Vogue Taiwan successful in Taiwan? It doesn't seem like a magazine that's made for people in other regions to really buy or consume.

IMO Vogue Portugal is the worst, worst, worst!!!

 

[Raymond Kim]

british vogue obviously the 'big four'. but, these days? hmm.. little bit feeling underwhelmed compare to the other three. i think they need to find golden age some like 1990' or early 2000' era. (it applies vogue italia too.) totally no offense. btw nice threads! :cool2:

I think British Vogue has some of the best Editorials and their celebrity profiles are much better than Vogue US.

I think the Top 4 each hold a diferent characteristic.

VOGUE US: Celebrity
VOGUE UK: Journalism
VOGUE PARIS: Fashion
VOGUE Italia: Innovation

Vogue Italia would be B-list without Steven Meisel, I think we can all agree on that. The rest of the magazine is usually B/C-list anyway.

I think that this is quite accurate and agreed with perhaps bumping España to C-list.
