Vogue: A History

Since the first issue of Vogue was published in 1892—its cover an illustration of an unnamed, beaming debutante by A.B. Wenzell—the title has defined itself as the world’s foremost fashion authority. Over the years, Vogue has evolved with the times, coming to encompass a wider world of culture, entertainment, beauty, politics and the arts, dedicating itself to a celebration of groundbreaking image-making, great journalism, and the discovery of new talent.

Along the way Vogue has engaged a legendary list of collaborators, from photographers such as Horst P. Horst, Irving Penn and Annie Leibovitz to writers like Joan Didion and Truman Capote to artists Salvatore Dalí, John Currin, Elizabeth Peyton and more. Today Vogue is a busy multiplatform title that views the wider world through the lens of fashion, wields unparalleled influence, and bears a commitment to values of inclusivity, creativity and community. Its ability to delight, inspire and inform its audience has never been stronger.
