Condé Nast launches Vogue Philippines
Condé Nast announced on Monday the launch of Vogue
“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. The title will launch as a digital-first media brand with a monthly print edition and will serve as an exciting addition to our global Vogue network,” said Markus Grindel, managing director, Global Brand Licensing, Condé Nast.
Vogue Philippines is expected to strengthen Vogue’s presence in Southeast Asia, following its Thailand and Singapore offices, as it serves as a platform to celebrate the country’s rich culture, diversity, and creative fashion talent.
Its print content will focus on long form reads and artful storytelling, while across all platforms, its coverage will aim to marry the past with the future, street with couture, and the Philippines with the rest of the world, to satisfy both local and global audiences.
Condé Nast partnered with Mega Global Licensing Inc., (MGLI), a Filipino publishing company with over 30 years of prestige publishing experience, to launch Vogue Philippines.
“The Filipino talent has been ready to be received by the world for decades now and with certainty, I can say that the market, too, is finally ready. The two are meeting at the perfect juncture at the perfect time and the long wait is over. We are excited to announce the arrival of Vogue Philippines,” added Archie Carrasco, chairman and CEO of Mega Global Licensing, Inc.
Other international tiles of Vogue include editions in Australia, Brazil, China, Czech Republic
