On November 3, Condé Nast, the parent company of Vogue, announced that Teen Vogue, the digital media platform that has long symbolized the voice of younger generations, will be integrated into Vogue.com. At the same time, it was revealed that Editor-in-Chief Versha Sharma will step down from her role. Going forward, Chloe Malle, Vogue’s Head of Editorial Content, will oversee both brands under a unified structure.
This move follows the late-October announcement that Vogue Business will also be brought under the Vogue.com umbrella, signaling part of Condé Nast’s broader effort to expand what it calls the “Vogue ecosystem.”
In a statement, Malle commented, “We are looking forward to this new chapter. In our increasingly fragmented media landscape, making all Vogue — Teen Vogue and Vogue Business — accessible in one place sets us up for growth.” She added, “I loved it then and I love and respect it now, and am committed to continuing and supporting its point of view and sensibility.”
A Legacy of Political and Social Engagement
Teen Vogue ended its print edition in 2017 with former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gracing the cover, marking its full transition to a digital-first publication. Under Sharma’s leadership, the magazine expanded beyond fashion and culture, embracing bold coverage of politics and social issues, solidifying its position as a trusted platform amplifying the voices of young people.
From reporting on Zohran Mamdani’s political campaign to interviewing environmental activist Greta Thunberg after her release from detention in Israel, and offering in-depth reflections on the Black Lives Matter movement, Teen Vogue has chronicled the shifting tides of society through a sharp, progressive lens.
The Expansion of the Vogue Ecosystem and the Future of Media Diversity
The integration of Teen Vogue represents a strategic move by Condé Nast to strengthen the overall influence and reach of the Vogue brand. Yet, behind this consolidation lies a growing concern that folding diverse editorial voices under one corporate umbrella may diminish the independence that once defined Teen Vogue.
As a publication that bridged fashion with politics and culture with social consciousness, Teen Vogue has served as both a “voice” and a “compass” for the next generation. How that spirit will live on within Vogue.com remains to be seen — and will likely define the next chapter of the Vogue ecosystem.
