What was Vogue’s first September issue to exceed 800 pages?

Vogue’s 2007 September issue was its first September issue to exceed 800 pages.

The issue contained 840 pages, making it one of the largest single issues in the magazine’s history. September editions are especially important to fashion publications because they present autumn and winter collections, which are central to the industry’s retail and advertising calendar.

The extraordinary length reflected the scale of fashion advertising and editorial production during the period. It also became a widely cited example of the September issue’s commercial importance, when luxury brands compete for prominent placement in the season’s major fashion magazines.

The figure is sometimes confused with other large Vogue issues or with the 2009 documentary The September Issue. The documentary followed the making of a September edition, but the record-setting 840-page issue was published in 2007.
