About Vogue

Vogue is an American monthly fashion and lifestyle magazine that covers many topics, including haute couture fashion, beauty, culture, living, and runway.

Since its founding, Vogue has featured numerous actors, musicians, models, athletes, and other prominent celebrities.

To date, the program has trained over 800 apprentices; the group inducted a new class of 300 trainees in October, 10 times more than it trained in its first iteration.

Career Progression

Vogue’s hiring process is handled entirely by its parent company, Condé Nast. It’s possible to get an internship at Vogue as a college or university student, although openings are not always available every year. When it does, most of the positions are for the content and editorial team, and the duration of the internship is usually around six months time.

Work-Life Balance 

Achieving better harmony between personal and professional life seems to be everyone’s priority. Also in the fashion industry, where burnout has often been the price to pay to have a creative career. Vogue wants its employees to love where they work. To create this positive environment, they uphold a culture that strives to improve work-life integration and the well-being of its employees.

Culture & Vibe

The working culture in Vogue is a marriage between two of the most intense and fast-paced industries—fashion and media. One thing that many of its employees agree on, past and current, is that working in Vogue is never boring, since you may do many different things each day, and deal with different people.
