Cover stories edit
The magazine featured a profile of George Clooney[1] in its inaugural issue. Since then, other stars including Roger Federer,[2] Tiger Woods,[3] Michael Phelps, Denzel Washington,[4] Kiefer Sutherland, Viggo Mortensen,[5] Tony Blair[6] and Barack Obama[7] have been featured on the cover. The magazine received praise[8] for its December 2007 issue, with Will Smith[9] on the cover, for celebrating African-American men.
Content edit
The magazine featured celebrities, athletes, powerbrokers, and lesser known men of style. Areas covered included art and architecture, travel and food, politics and finance, books and sports, custom tailoring and fine watches, and other topics. The magazine added a tag line below its logo in November 2008 (its final issue), "Style is how you live."
Regular features edit
The magazine presented a yearly list of its chosen American visionaries.[10] Recipients of the 2007 recognition included Ralph Lauren,[11] actor Owen Wilson and director Wes Anderson.[12] It also featured profiles in each issue of everyday stylish and successful men in its Life Studies section.[13]
Personnel edit
The magazine was founded by Jay Fielden with support from Vogue's Anna Wintour.[14] After Men's Vogue folded, Fielden became the editor of Hearst's Town & Country in 2011,[15] and then the editor of Esquire, replacing David Granger in 2016.[16]
International editions edit
In addition to the American edition, several international editions of Men's Vogue exist. The first "Men's Vogue" edition published by Condé Nast was L'Uomo Vogue in Italy, which was launched in September 1967 and shuttered after the November/December 2017 issue, it was then relaunched in 2018 before closing in 2022.[17] A French edition named Vogue Hommes International (later Vogue Hommes) was launched in 1985, and it was published bi-annually in Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer issues until 2022.
Several other international editions were created in the aftermath of the American launch, though many of these were either rebranded or shut down within a few years. These include:
