Condé Nast International to launch Vogue Arabia

Magazine conglomerate Condé Nast will strengthen its media empire in the Middle East announcing Vogue Arabia will launch this autumn, reported Vogue Paris.

After the release of Vogue Ukraine in 2013, Condé Nast International has revealed its newest edition of Vogue: Vogue Arabia.

Facilitating the move into the Middle East, the publishing group has inked a deal with Nervora - a media company based in Dubai.

The Arabia edition will begin as online platform from this autumn and will be available in Arabic and English. The print magazine edition will be presented in spring 2017 under the directional eye of Saudian princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, the magazine's editor-in-chief.

Vogue Arabia will start off being distributed across a number of countries in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco are potential future markets for the new Arabia edition, as well as key global cities -  London, Paris and Milan - where large Arab communities dwell and shop.
