Who purchased Vogue magazine in 1909?

Condé Nast purchased Vogue magazine in 1909.

Before the acquisition, Vogue was a New York society publication founded by Arthur Baldwin Turnure in 1892. Condé Nast, an American publisher and businessman, saw an opportunity to develop the magazine for a more affluent and fashion-conscious audience.

After buying Vogue, Nast expanded its circulation and refined its editorial and advertising model. The magazine became more visually sophisticated and increasingly influential in fashion, photography, and luxury marketing.

The purchase is often confused with the later creation of Condé Nast as a broader publishing company. Vogue was the key early title around which Nast built his publishing interests, but the modern company eventually owned many other magazines as well.
