From Elspeth Champcommunal to Edward Enninful, Culture Trip takes a look back at the individuals who have shaped British Vogue throughout the ages. Vogue started life as a small New York society magazine. It was born in 1892, the brainchild of Arthur Baldwin Turnure who founded it as a weekly newspaper, focusing around the ceremonial side of life. It was a publication that attracted ‘the sage as well as debutante, men of affairs as well as the belle.’ From its inception, the magazine targeted the New York aristocracy, and the publication was primarily concerned with style, sports coverage and social affairs for the male readership. The small, weekly society magazine that went by the name of Vogue was staffed by the same New York high society that they were writing for. In 1905, Condé Montrose Nast began pursuing the acquisition of the magazine, and following delays due to Turnure’s sudden death from pneumonia in 1906, Nast acquired the magazine in 1909. His focus shifted to a female, fashion-oriented audience. In 1916, during the First World War, German U-boats imposed restrictions on overseas shipping, meaning that Vogue could no longer be sent from America to Europe.
