Condé Nast Folds Teen Vogue Into Vogue.com as Union Decries Layoffs

Executives describe a unified Vogue platform meant to drive growth with younger readers.

Overview

  • Condé Nast said Teen Vogue will operate on Vogue.com while keeping a distinct identity and mission.
  • Vogue head of editorial content Chloe Malle will oversee the imprint, and editor in chief Versha Sharma will depart Condé Nast.
  • The NewsGuild and Condé United said six Teen Vogue staffers were laid off, including the politics editor, leaving no dedicated politics team and fewer staffers of color.
  • Company messaging emphasizes youth-driven digital growth and a shift toward career development and cultural leadership content.
  • The transition follows Vogue Business moving onto Vogue.com, with Nicole Phelps promoted to lead Vogue’s fashion features team, while former staffers criticized the timing just before a New York City election.
