Remember that scene in The September Issue when then-Vogue publisher Tom Florio excitedly revealed to a room full of press that the September 2007 pre-crash Vogue would be the magazines largest issue ever? Well that record (the tome was 840 pages) will be broken come September.
According to a spokesperson, this Septembers Lady Gaga-covered Vogue will have 658 ad pages, which marks a nearly 14% growth from last yearthats double digit growth on top of double digit growth for the last two years, thank you very much Anna Wintour. We also hear that Teen Vogues September issue will be its largest issue ever (the previous record was held by Septembers 2006 Mischa Barton-covered issue, which rang in at 370 pages). Guess those rumors about Condé Nasts ad pages being down were off the mark
for the most part.
