In recent times, however, Glamour has been pivoting worldwide as it adjusts to the new media landscape and seeks to make up for the plunge in its advertising revenue. The latest casualty was Glamour Italy, which Condé Nast Italy revealed last week would shutter both its print edition and digital offering after 27 years in business. Explaining the reasoning behind the decision, Condé Nast Italy chief executive officer Fedele Usai said his focus is to create products “to accompany our public in the future.” But what has happened to all the other versions of the vast Glamour empire?
