Teen Vogue is merging with Vogue.com as part of a broader initiative to expand Vogue’s reach and unite its readership across various titles, parent company Condé Nast announced on Monday.
Teen Vogue will retain its distinct identity and mission, according to a post published on Vogue‘s website. Chloe Malle, American Vogue’s head of editorial content, who assumed the role in September after editor-in-chief Anna Wintour stepped down from overseeing the publication’s day-to-day operations, will lead the youth-centred imprint. Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Versha Sharma will depart Condé Nast.
A statement from the Condé Nast Union on Instagram condemned the move and alleged six staffers had been let go, adding that the publication “now has no writers or editors explicitly covering politics.” That includes Teen Vogue politics editor Lex McMenamin, who said in an X post on Monday that they had been laid off. McMenamin had recently interviewed the likes of Greta Thunberg and Zohran Mamdani for the publication, which has become known in recent years for its progressive political content.
“As the media industry changes so quickly, we are thrilled to have Teen Vogue join the Vogue platform, allowing its content to reach a larger audience and inspire young people globally,” said Wintour, global chief content officer at Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue. “We’re so grateful for Versha’s leadership and the impact she’s had during her time at Teen Vogue. … We all look forward to seeing what she does next, and wish her the best.”
According to the announcement, in its new iteration, Teen Vogue will hone its editorial focus on relevant topics for young readers — who account for over half of Vogue’s following across social media and YouTube — including career development and cultural leadership.
The announcement comes a week after the company announced Vogue Business will also transfer to Vogue.com. Nicole Phelps, global director of Vogue Runway and Vogue Business, has been promoted to oversee Vogue’s fashion features staff. The decision to unify the three titles is intended to increase the visibility of Vogue’s partners and advertisers.
“We are looking forward to this new chapter. In our increasingly fragmented media landscape, making all Vogue — Teen Vogue and Vogue Business — accessible in one place sets us up for growth,” said Malle.
