Vogue - Vogue (English spelling)

Japanese: ボーグ - ぼーぐ(英語表記)Vogue
Vogue - Vogue (English spelling)

A monthly women's fashion and lifestyle magazine, also spelled "Vogue." First published in December 1892 in the United States as a magazine for high society, it was acquired in 1909 by Condé Nast (1873-1942), a lawyer turned publisher, and has since grown exponentially as a full-fledged fashion magazine. In addition to the American edition, there are also editions in France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and other countries. It marked an era with the help of Bogue photographers such as Richard Avedon, but after the 1950s, high fashion, centered on haute couture, began to decline, and as women began to advance into society, fashion magazines were forced to change to keep up with the times. The editorial staff of the magazine was also staffed by women who aimed to become career women, rather than the upper-class ladies who were training to be brides. A typical example of this was Grace Mirabella (1929-2021, editor-in-chief of Vogue from 1971 to 1988), who later became independent and founded her own magazine, Mirabella. In 1985, the appearance of the American version of Elle shook the fashion magazine world, and Vogue later sought to rejuvenate itself by changing its editor-in-chief and further revamping its layout. In Japan, the Japanese version of Vogue Nippon was launched in 1999 (Heisei 11) by Nikkei Conde Nast, a joint venture between Conde Nast and the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. There is also a men's version of Vogue in France and Italy. The average circulation of the domestic version is about 1.14 million copies (1999).

女性モード・ライフスタイル誌(月刊)。『ヴォーグ』とも表記される。1892年12月にアメリカで社交界向けの雑誌として創刊され、1909年弁護士から出版業界に転じたコンデ・ナストCondé Nast(1873―1942)に買収されて以来、本格的なファッション雑誌として飛躍的な発展を遂げた。アメリカ版のほかに、フランス、イギリス、イタリア、スペインなどの各国版がある。リチャード・アベドンらボーグ写真家により一時代を画したが、1950年代以降オートクチュール中心のハイファッションが下火になり、女性の社会進出が盛んになるにつれ、モード誌も時代に即応した変身を強いられることになる。同誌の編集部にも、それまでの上流階級令嬢の花嫁修行ではなく、歴としたキャリアウーマンを目ざす女性が進出、その典型例がのちに独立してみずからの雑誌『ミラベラ』を創刊することになるグレース・ミラベラGrace Mirabella(1929―2021。1971年から1988年まで『ボーグ』編集長)であった。1985年、アメリカ版『エル』の出現がファッション雑誌界を震撼(しんかん)させ、後に『ボーグ』は編集長の交代とさらなる紙面刷新によって若返りを図ることとなる。日本では、コンデナスト社と日本経済新聞社との合弁会社日経コンデナストより、1999年(平成11)に日本版『VOGUE NIPPON』が創刊された。フランス、イタリアには男性版『ボーグ』誌もある。本国版の平均発行部数は約114万部(1999)。
