History

Japanese Vogue made its debut with the September 1999 issue (on newsstands 28 July 1999), featuring British model Kate Moss and Japanese model Miki by Craig McDean. The magazine was published as a joint-venture between Condé Nast and Nikkei through Nikkei Condé Nast. Hiromi Sogo, who previously edited 25ans[jp] was appointed to the role of editor-in-chief.

The March 2026, Ariana Grande cover story caused controversy over an editorial image that showed Grande with six fingers. Grande responded with an Instagram comment stating "oh goodness how exciting ! i’ve been saying I need some extra appendages so that i can start an album ! thankful for this."
