Vogue Polska is the Polish edition of the Americanfashion andlifestyle monthly magazineVogue. The magazine has been published since February 2018 and is the twenty-third local edition ofVogue.[1]
In June 2017, it was announced that the Polish edition ofVogue was in preparation, withFilip Niedenthal as editor-in-chief.[2] The local publisher, Visteria, signed a 5-year licence deal with the publisher of the original American version,Condé Nast, which was later extended for another five years. The printed magazine and its website were launched simultaneously on 14 February 2018. The circulation of the first issue was 160,000 copies and its cover featured the PolishmodelsAnja Rubik andMałgosia Bela.[3]
Vogue Polska has published a number of one-time and ongoing special issues and supplements, includingVogue Beauty,Vogue Travel, Vogue Living, Vogue Man, andVogue Leaders.
Since 2015,Vogue Polska Living has been published as a regular quarterly.
The cover photography of the first issue caused controversy in Poland as the photographer,Jürgen Teller, featured Rubik and Bela standing next to a vintage Soviet-producedVolga GAZ-24 car and with Warsaw'sPalace of Culture and Science in the background. In Poland, this car and this building are perceived as symbols ofStalinism and thecommunist oppression, which raised questions about the political and ideological profile of the magazine and the aesthetics it was going to promote.[4]
