Men's Vogue was a monthly men's magazine that covered culture, fashion, design, art, sports, and technology. The premier issue was August 2005; the magazine was published on a quarterly schedule. It subsequently went bimonthly before stepping up to a full ten issues a year in 2007.[1] In 2008,Adweek namedMen's Vogue "Startup of the Year."[2] On October 30, 2008,Condé Nast announced that they would fold the magazine intoVogue proper as a biannual subscriber's supplement. The magazine has ceased to be published since its original folding date.

Subsequently,Roger Federer,[4]Tiger Woods,[5]Michael Phelps,Denzel Washington,[6]Kiefer Sutherland,Viggo Mortensen,[7]Tony Blair[8] andBarack Obama,[9] among other notable male subjects, were featured on the cover. The magazine received praise[10] for its December 2007 issue, withWill Smith[11] on the cover, for celebrating African-American men.
The magazine featured celebrities, athletes, powerbrokers, and lesser known men of style. Areas covered included art and architecture, travel and food, politics and finance, books and sports, custom tailoring and fine watches, and other topics. The magazine added a tag line below its logo in November 2008 (its final issue), "Style is how you live."
