About Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair is a magazine published by Condé Nast. The publisher’s own timeline records that the title launched in 1913, four years after Condé Montrose Nast bought Vogue and established the company.
Editions and Leadership
Condé Nast publishes Vanity Fair in five national editions — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. Its brand page names Mark Guiducci as global editorial director, with separate editorial heads for the French, Italian, Spanish and European operations.
Coverage
Vanity Fair publishes longform reporting, profiles and commentary on politics, culture and media, distributed through vanityfair.com, podcasts and newsletters alongside the print magazine.
Sourcing Note
This page previously asserted that Vanity Fair’s political reporting “shapes perceptions of political insiders” and “often surfaces internal dynamics that later influence broader media coverage.” Those claims are removed: they are influence claims with no source behind them. The magazine’s readership figures are likewise omitted, as Condé Nast publishes no audience figure for the title on the pages cited here.
