Germany Vanity Fair Is Closing Down

Text

The last issue of the German weekly, intended for fashion, social and political fans, will be out this week, the spokesperson said.

American publisher Conde Nast announced on Wednesday that the German edition of the Vanity Fair magazine will no longer be published.

The last issue of the German weekly, intended for fashion, social and political fans, will be out this week, the German edition spokesperson said.

The German edition started circulating in February 2007 and the magazine was announced with a big advertising campaign. A mixture of political topics and tips on style and fashion were unusual for German readers at first, however, they were well-accepted soon.

The announcement of Conde Nast CEO Jonathan Newhouse reads that the sudden drop of standard and a poor financial situation made them close down the German drive. Conde Nast`s editions on the German market will still include Glamour, Myself and GQ Style magazines.
