Their main offices are located in [[New York]], [[London]], [[Paris]], [[Milan]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Chicago]], [[San Francisco]], and elsewhere. Condé Nast is credited with creating the now widely used magazine [[marketing]] strategy emphasizing magazines focused on a particular class or interest, sometimes known as ''lifestyle magazines''. Many Condé Nast magazines have their principal focus in [[fashion]], although the company's publications also include travel, food, home, culture, and other interests. [[Samuel Irving Newhouse|S.I.

Fairchild publishes many successful monthly magazines in addition to the specialized daily trade publication ''[[Women's Wear Daily]]''. Condé Nast Publications was founded by [[Condé Montrose Nast]], who took over the flagship magazine, ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'', in [[1909]]. In [[1959]], S.I. Newhouse purchased a controlling interest. It is now part of the holding company [[Advance Publications]] which is owned by the [[Newhouse family]]. By [[1998]] the group included 17 such publications, many of them the largest in their markets. It had an average total circulation of over 13 million issues a month, and an estimated actual readership five times larger than that.
