Teen Vogue to Merge with Vogue.com in Major Shift

NEW YORK, NY — Teen Vogue is set to merge with Vogue.com as part of a broader strategy by its parent company, Condé Nast, to expand the Vogue brand. This transition was announced on November 3, 2025, and comes alongside the departure of Teen Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Versha Sharma.

Chloe Malle, who took over as Vogue’s head of editorial content in September, will now oversee Teen Vogue. Malle expressed her commitment to the publication, stating, “I loved it then and I love and respect it now and am committed to continuing and supporting its point of view and sensibility.” Despite the merger, Teen Vogue will maintain its identity and mission.

The decision aims to create a unified experience for readers across Vogue properties, with Teen Vogue focusing on topics relevant to young audiences, including cultural leadership and career development. According to Vogue, more than half of its social media followers and YouTube listeners are young readers.

“As the media industry changes so quickly, we are thrilled to have Teen Vogue join the Vogue platform, allowing its content to reach a larger audience and inspire young people globally,” said Anna Wintour, global chief content officer at Condé Nast. Wintour praised Sharma for her leadership and impact during her tenure, especially in building the Teen Vogue Summit.

This merger follows a similar integration of Vogue Business into Vogue.com. Nicole Phelps, previously global director of Vogue Business, has been promoted to oversee Vogue’s fashion features team. The consolidation aims to provide advertisers with more visibility and access to resources.

However, the announcement also comes with concerns, as some staff layoffs have occurred during this transition, including the departure of six team members. Lex McMenamin, Teen Vogue’s News and Politics Editor, stated that their position, along with others focused on political reporting, has been eliminated.

The NewsGuild of New York condemned the layoffs, noting that they disproportionately impacted marginalized employees. They called the merger a move that could undermine Teen Vogue’s award-winning journalism at a critical time.
