Vanity Fair (U.S. magazine 1913–36) Vanity Fair (U.S. magazine 1913–36) Vanity Fair is an American society magazine published from 1913 to 1936. It was highly successful until the Great Depression led to its becoming unprofitable, and it was merged into "Vogue" in 1936. Condé Nast began his empire by purchasing the men's fashion magazine "Dress" in 1913. He renamed the magazine Dress and Vanity Fair and published four issues in 1913. Nast paid $3,000 for the right to use the title "Vanity Fair" in the United States, granted by the magazine "The Standard and Vanity Fair", "the only periodical printed for the playgoer and player",
Vogue (magazine) Wintour and her creative director Grace Coddington. The issue became the largest ever published at the time; over 5 pounds in weight and 840 pages in length, a world record for a monthly magazine Since then, that record has been broken by "Vogue"s 2012 September issue, which came in at 916 pages. Also in 2012, HBO released a documentary entitled "In Vogue: The Editor's Eye", in conjunction with the 120th anniversary of the magazine. Drawing on "Vogue"s extensive archives, the film featured behind-the-scenes interviews with longtime Vogue editors, including Wintour, Coddington, Tonne Goodman, Hamish Bowles, and Phyllis Posnick.
