History

The company began in 1909 when Condé Montrose Nast bought Vogue, a magazine about fashion. He created Condé Nast Publications to manage his magazines. Over time, they added titles like House & Garden, Vanity Fair, Glamour, and American Golfer.

Condé Nast became known for making magazines about travel, food, home, and culture. During the Great Depression, they started using color photos in their magazines. In 1959, Samuel I. Newhouse bought Condé Nast and merged it with Advance Publications.

In the 2000s, Condé Nast moved to new offices and bought many popular websites and magazines. They also began offering digital subscriptions for tablets like the iPad. The company faced challenges with changes in advertising and how people use media, which led to some changes in leadership. Recently, Condé Nast has worked to adapt to new technologies and audience interests.
