Conde Nast Launches Philippines Edition Of 'Vogue'

Condé Nast on Monday announced the launch of Vogue Philippines, the 29th edition of the global fashion mega-brand.

The title will launch in September 2022 with English-language print, digital and social platforms. It will be published under a license agreement with MEGA Global Licensing, Inc.

“We’re thrilled to launch our 29th edition of Vogue in the Philippines, a country with a growing luxury fashion market and a vibrant creative scene,” Markus Grindel, Condé Nast’s managing director for global brand licensing, said in a press statement. The new title will start as a digital-first brand with a monthly print edition that launches simultaneously.

Vogue Philippines will join Vogue’s 28 other editions around the world, which collectively reach a global audience of more than 272 million. The new edition strengthens Vogue’s presence in Southeast Asia, and the Filipino edition will serve as a platform to celebrate that country’s culture, diversity and creative fashion talent.
