History

Japanese Vogue made its debut with the September 1999 issue (on newsstands 28 July 1999), featuring British model Kate Moss and Japanese model Miki by Craig McDean.[1] The magazine was published as a joint-venture between Condé Nast and Nikkei through Nikkei Condé Nast.[1] Hiromi Sogo, who previously edited 25ans [jp] was appointed to the role of editor-in-chief.[1]

The March 2026, Ariana Grande cover story caused controversy over an editorial image that showed Grande with six fingers.[6][7] Grande responded with an Instagram comment stating "oh goodness how exciting ! i’ve been saying I need some extra appendages so that i can start an album ! thankful for this."[6]
