The British edition of Vogue is a fashion magazine that has been published since 1916.
When British Vogue was launched, it was the first overseas edition of an existing magazine.[2] Under the magazine's first editor, Elspeth Champcommunal, the magazine was essentially the same as the American edition, but for its anglicized spellings.[2] Under its second editor, Dorothy Todd, the magazine shifted its focus from fashion to literature and lost much of its audience.[2] It was under Alison Settle, the magazine's third editor, that the magazine took off.[2] British Vogue's current editor-in-chief is Alexandra Shulman.[2] British Vogue is more commercial in approach than other editions of Vogue.[3]
British Vogue is the most profitable British magazine[1] as well as the most profitable Vogue besides the US edition.[1] In 2007, it ran 2,020 pages of advertising at an average of £16,000 a page.[1]
