What was Vogue magazine’s first regular international edition?

The story behind the answer

British Vogue was Vogue magazine’s first regular international edition.

The British edition launched in 1916, making it the first overseas version of the American title. Its creation reflected Vogue’s early international ambitions and the importance of London as a center of culture, society, and fashion.

British Vogue developed its own editorial voice rather than functioning as a simple reprint of the American magazine. Over time, it became known for influential editors, photographers, writers, and coverage of British designers.

Vogue Paris, launched in 1920, is sometimes mistakenly named as the first international edition because of Paris’s central role in haute couture. Paris was highly influential, but Britain came first in Vogue’s international publishing history.
