Vogue’s largest-ever issue contained 916 pages and was published in September 2012.
The September issue is traditionally American Vogue’s biggest issue of the year because it previews the autumn fashion season, one of the most commercially important periods in the fashion calendar. Its size reflects advertising demand, editorial coverage, and the number of seasonal collections being presented.
The 2012 issue was widely reported as a record-breaking edition for the magazine. Its page count included advertising as well as editorial material, an important distinction when comparing magazine sizes.
This record should not be confused with the separate milestone of Vogue’s first September issue to exceed 800 pages. That earlier achievement occurred before 2012; the 2012 edition set the larger 916-page record.
