Men in Vogue was a British magazine of male fashion from the same publishers as

Vogue. It was first published in 1965, and ceased publication in 1970.[1] The magazine was closely associated with the peacock revolution in English men's fashion in the 1960s for which Christopher Gibbs, an editor of the shopping guide in Men in Vogue, was a style leader with his "louche dandyism".[2] Other editors of the magazine were Robert Harling and Beatrix Miller.[3]

First issue

The first issue of the magazine was attached to the November 1965 Vogue. It featured, amongst other things:[3]

Later editions

The magazine featured designers including

A day in the life".[6]

Closure

The magazine ceased publication in 1970. The failure of Men in Vogue and similar British non-pornographic men's magazines like Town (formerly About Town and before that Man About Town) which closed in 1968, and the British version of Esquire in the 1950s, has been blamed on the smaller size of the market in the United Kingdom compared to the United States and competition for advertising from commercial television and newspaper colour supplements.[7] The first colour supplement in the United Kingdom was for The Sunday Times, published in February 1962, and it was so successful that the paper gained a quarter of a million new readers.[8] Soon, all the large Sunday newspapers had a similar section.

Vogue-Man

Vogue-Man was launched by Condé Nast in 2006 but ceased in print in 2009,[9] becoming a section on the parent magazine's website.
