Vogue Türkiye: Inaugural Issue

Vogue Türkiye

As of yesterday, Vogue magazine now officially has a Turkish version. Apparently it’s a limited edition that’s causing quite a stir. To be honest, I hadn’t really realised before that there wasn’t a Turkish Vogue. Perhaps it’s because we get every other international version of the magazine already, and to me this just seems like another one cluttering up the stands. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything in particular against fashion magazines; I just don’t really see the need to have so many multiple versions of each one. Can’t we just have an international Vogue that gets translated into each country’s local language? I suppose this is paper magazines fighting against their own inevitable death… but I think they’re diversifying in the wrong direction. Link
