👗The word "vogue" means the prevailing fashion or style at a particular time

👗While looking through a dictionary, Redding found this word and felt this perfectly described the mission of the publication, thus Vogue was born

👗It started as a weekly fashion, society, and "ceremonial side of life" magazine that targeted a specific group of elite readers

👗Marie Harrison (sister in law) took over Vogue after the death of Arthur (she had been an editor since 1901)

👗Conde Nast had been interested in purchasing the magazine, however he didn't succeed until 1909

👗Nast decided publications should be multiple times a week: $4 for a yearly subscription; 15 cents for one issue

👗In the beginning, everything was hand drawn until photography advanced ($60,000 until photography advanced; reduced to $13,000)

year: 1892

publisher: Arthur Baldwin Turnure (died in 1906)

published: New York City
