What was the original name of Vogue’s French edition when it launched in 1920?

The story behind the answer

The French edition launched in 1920 under the name Vogue Paris.

Vogue’s French edition became one of the most influential titles in international fashion publishing. Based in Paris, it developed a strong identity around French haute couture, photography, art direction, and the city’s central role in fashion.

The title is commonly called Vogue Paris in English-language references, although the magazine has used different branding conventions over time. In 2021, Condé Nast announced a broader rebranding strategy for several editions, including the use of country-based names in some markets.

This history can cause confusion with Vogue France, a later branding label, or with the American and British editions. The specific launch-era answer is Vogue Paris, established in 1920.
