Glamour is a multinational online
women's magazine published by
Condé Nast Publications and based in
New York City . It was originally called Glamour of Hollywood .
[ 3] From 1939 to 2019, Glamour was a print magazine. Due to decreasing numbers of subscribers, Glamour 's last print edition was in January 2019.
[ 4]
In August 1943, the magazine changed its name to Glamour , with the subtitle for the girl with the job .
[ 3] The magazine was published in a larger format than most of its contemporaries at the time. Charm , a
Street & Smith magazine, started in 1941,
[ 5] later subtitled "the magazine for women who work", was folded into Glamour magazine in 1959.
[ 6]
[ 7]
[ 8]
Glamour was the first women's magazine to feature an African-American cover girl when it included
Katiti Kironde on the cover of its college issue in August 1968.
[ 9]
[ 2]
Since 1990, the magazine has held an annual "
Women of the Year " awards ceremony.
[ 10]
On January 8, 2018, it was announced that
Samantha Barry , previously the Head of Social Media and Emerging Media at CNN, would be the new Editor-in-Chief of Glamour .
[ 11]
In November 2018, Glamour announced that its print edition would cease with its January 2019 issue in order to focus on its digital presence.
[ 12]
[ 2]
Glamour Top College Women Awards
Each year for the last 56 years, the magazine has been selecting a top ten list of outstanding college women across the country. Originally, the list was composed of the best dressed college juniors in America, but was changed for more substance with categories such as academic achievement, community service, and career goals as leading criteria. Hundreds of college juniors apply each year. Past winners and finalists include
Martha Stewart ,
Diane Sawyer , and
Swati Mia Saini , among others.
[ 13]
[ 14]
Glamour Woman of the Year Awards
Each autumn, the magazine organizes the “Glamour Woman of the Year Awards,” which recognize women in the public eye.
[ 15]
[ 16]
In 2007,
Lorena Ochoa won a Woman of the Year award.
[ 17] In 2008, the award was granted to two Yemenis: 10-year-old divorcee
Nujood Ali , and the lawyer who took on her case.
[ 18]
[ 19] Nujood's courage was praised by prominent attendees, including Hillary Clinton and
Condoleezza Rice .
[ 20] The 2010 Glamour Woman of the Year was
Cher and the 2016 Glamour Woman of the Year was
Zendaya .

Glamour launched in the UK in April 2001, where it pioneered the "handbag size" format, with the tagline "fits in your life as well as your handbag". Each September, the magazine held "National Glamour Week", when it featured extra
coupons and competitions. In 2016, Glamour UK launched the Glamour Beauty Festival, on a new off-page beauty event featuring demonstrations, treatments and speakers.
[ 21]
From its launch to the final traditional issue in November 2017, the magazine was edited by Jo Elvin, with Michelle Pamment serving as acting editor briefly in 2005.
[ 22] In June 2009, to celebrate Glamour ' s eighth birthday in the UK, Glamour.com made a gallery of every cover since its launch.
[ 23] In October 2017, following declining sales, it was announced that publication of the monthly UK edition would end at the end of 2017, and that the UK version would be a semi-annual publication.
[ 24]
[ 25] In November 2017, Deborah Joseph was appointed Chief Content Officer of Glamour UK .
[ 26]
The
Italian edition of Glamour was launched in December 1976, under the title Lei (She ), then officially renamed Glamour , like its U.S. counterpart, in 1992.
[ 27]
[ 28]
[ 29] The
Russian edition was established in 2004, and is published monthly.
