    Vogue celebrates six years in India with Frieda Pinto

    MUMBAI: Vogue India completes six years in India this October, marking the milestone with a special issue dedicated to the infinite magic of black.
    The anniversary issue has actress Freida Pinto as the cover girl, playing the perfect muse to the theme.

     

    The magazine shares adventures of interesting personalities that start their work shift post 6:00 pm in ‘Midnights children’. ‘A study in black’ has the world’s most renowned designers share their love for black. Other than the ode to black in fashion, celebrities throw light on must-see hangouts in popular cities for the story, ‘Bright lights big city’. The anniversary issue also features a list of 50 selected scary movies and books over time for enthused readers.

     

    Vogue launched in India in 2007 as the country’s ultimate fashion bible, helmed by editor Priya Tanna. The magazine has grown from strength to strength over the years and the success story is evident by the increase in print run from 50,000 to 60,000 copies.

     

    Speaking on spearheading Vogue in India over the last six years, Priya Tanna said, “The last six years have been enthralling, inspiring and gratifying. Launching Vogue in India has been a journey that’s nothing short of incredible. We have evolved from amagazine to a multi-media brand through the years and even in our new avatar we endeavour to curate the best of Indian and international fashion for our readers. I am particularly excited about this Anniversary issue- our tribute to black. In the past we’ve surveyed many themes, but never one that has elicited as varied a range of interpretations, discussions and opinions as this one. From dark to decadent and from mysterious to magical, the issue celebrates fashions most ubiquitous hue.”

     

    Vogue India’s foray in the digital space took place with the launch of vogue.in in 2010, offering its readers the best in fashion and lifestyle in the virtual world at their fingertips. The launch of mobile applications like Vogue 365 and Vogue Stylist further enhanced the magazine’s digital footprint. The digital edition is available on Magzter, Zinio and Readwhere.

     

    The magazine’s Twitter and Facebook pages are equally popular with almost 66k followers and about 45k likes respectively to date.
