Vogue and VICE Partner to Launch Editorial Collaboration

NEW YORK – October 19, 2017 – Vogue and VICE today announced a partnership to produce a first-of-its-kind editorial collaboration featuring content from both dominant brands. The multi-platform partnership, which will feature a new website and exist across the brands’ platforms, will showcase figures, movements and issues making an impact on society today, with each week highlighting a different theme. Content will be produced by a dedicated team consisting of both Vogue and VICE editors, and will be rolled out over a 100-day period. Audiences can expect a mix of videos, photos, longform storytelling and more, to be promoted by both brands on social media. The partnership, tentatively titled Project Vs, is set to launch in early 2018.

“Vogue and VICE may appear to some to see the world through different lenses,” said Anna Wintour, Condé Nast artistic director and editor-in-chief of Vogue. “But, in my view, both are fearless and breathtaking, with unquenchable curiosity and vigor. This collaboration will benefit from two talented editorial teams working together to produce relevant and exciting stories about the way we live now.”

“What started as a slow dance collaboration has quickly become a high speed collision between VICE and Vogue, juxtaposing the many social, political and cultural tensions of our times to create a capsule commentary on the world we live in,” said Tom Punch, chief commercial and creative officer of VICE. “We’re very excited to see where Project Vs will take us all.”

The partnership will be unveiled at the Omnicom Media Group Final Front today, to a room including some of the industry’s largest brands. Condé Nast will be leading the advertising process for the collaboration, with Vogue chief business officer Susan Plagemann overseeing efforts, in coordination with the VICE team.
