Who became the founding editor-in-chief of Vogue China in 2005?

Angelica Cheung became the founding editor-in-chief of Vogue China when the edition launched in 2005.

Cheung helped establish the magazine as a bridge between China’s developing fashion industry and the international luxury market. Under her leadership, Vogue China combined global designers and fashion photography with Chinese models, artists, celebrities, and cultural references.

Before joining Vogue China, Cheung had experience in journalism and publishing. Her background helped her build a publication that addressed both international readers and China’s rapidly growing fashion audience.

She remained associated with the magazine for many years, making her one of the most influential editors in modern Chinese fashion media. Her role is distinct from that of Anna Wintour, who led American Vogue, and Franca Sozzani, who led Vogue Italia.
