Exclusive: Vogue Singapore to Relaunch This Fall

Vogue is launching its 27th country edition in Singapore, returning to the Southeast Asian city after a short-lived attempt in the market back in the Nineties, this time joining forces with publisher Indochine Media via a license agreement. Vogue Singapore, the next edition to follow right on the heels of the launch of Vogue Hong Kong last year, will take the form of a monthly print publication and website. All content will be published in English and is to debut this fall, the two parties said Thursday. “Vogue Singapore rejoins the market at a time when Singapore’s local fashion design and talent are rising in the country and across the entire region,” commented Wolfgang Blau, chief operating officer and president, international, Condé Nast. “Vogue Singapore will play a vital role in boosting and supporting that talent as well as in bringing regional and international ideas to this edition of Vogue.” “Times are very different and overall it’s a different stage that Singapore is now with a fashion industry and designers that are much more internationally focused than before,” said Michael von Schlippe, president of Indochine Media. The company has over 10 years of experience in digital communication, luxury print publishing across Southeast Asia
