L'Uomo Vogue was an Italian men's fashion magazine which was based in Milan and operated from 1967 to 2017 and again from 2018 to 2021.

History

edit

L'Uomo Vogue was launched in September of 1967 as the men's version of Vogue Italia.[1]

Under Franca Sozzani (2006 to 2016)

edit

To celebrate the magazines fortieth anniversary a party was held at the Palazzo Litta in Milan in 2008. The event was organised by Sozzani and numerous celebrities and creatives attended including Giorgio Armani, Naomi Campbell, Tom Ford, Janet Jackson, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Donatella Versace, Anna Wintour and more.[2]

Under Emanuele Farneti (2017 to 2021)

edit

In July of 2017 Condé Nast announced that it would be closing L'Uomo Vogue after the release of its December issue,[3] this is because the company wanted to refocus on its "top brands".[4]

However in 2018 almost 12 months after the announcement of its closure the magazine was relaunched as a quarterly publication. It had increased in size and was now in English instead of Italian with Farneti stating “That’s the international language and it’s an international magazine.[5]
