NEW MAGAZINE
Clooney on cover of 'men's Vogue'
New York - George Clooney is the cover model for the premiere issue of Men's Vogue, the male counterpart to the cond nast style bible. He's wearing a camel overcoat, gray sweater and gray trousers.
"He (Clooney) conveys immediately that this a men's magazine. He's the embodiment of the man we're talking to ... someone who has achieved some success and is looking to expand his horizons," says editor in chief jay fielden.
Men's Vogue borrows the look of Vogue, using the same photographers, layouts and logo, but the content extends to finance, sports and science.
Usually, there's barely a difference between fashion and style, though that gap is emphasized here.
This fall issue is a test to see whether the market for such a magazine exists. Mr. Fielden says other men's magazines are targeting younger and younger audiences, leaving men in their 30s and 40s without a magazine for them.
"We wanted a magazine regarded with taste, worldliness, authority, great photography and great writing. To take a magazine from scratch and built that reputation would take years, but we could already have it if we built on Vogue," Mr. Fielden says.
