Career at Vogue China
Cheung launched the title's first issue in September 2005. It sold out of its initial print run of 300,000 and had to be reprinted twice.[9]
The youngest of Vogue's editors-in-chief, Cheung was going to leave her career in fashion to become a lawyer when she was offered the role. “At 36 or so, I was grown-up, experienced, worldly, and thought now was the time to finally become a lawyer.”[10] Since then, she has grown Vogue China to include several successful IPs. She launched Vogue Me in 2015, which is a 360-degree brand with a bi-monthly print version devoted to the millennial generation, which triggered the global attention of Chinese millennial consumers. In 2016, she launched Vogue Film, which combines fashion with the entertainment industry by way of producing short fashion films. She also launched Vogue Now social media magazine, as well as a network of digital platforms. In 15 years, she has grown Vogue China into an influential empire which puts out 20 issues per year, with a readership of 1.8 million and 42 million social media followers. [citation needed]
