'''Condé Nast Publications, Inc.''' is a worldwide [[magazine]] [[publishing]] company. 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. Newhouse]] recently announced the launch of his newest magazine, a business monthly called ''[[Condé Nast Portfolio]]''.
The Condé Nast family of publications also includes [[Fairchild Publications, Inc.|Fairchild Publications]], a former competitor before it was bought by [[Samuel Irving Newhouse, Jr.|S.I. Newhouse]]. 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.
[[Charles Townsend (Condé Nast)|Charles Townsend]] is the current CEO/president of Condé Nast, Richard D. Beckman is the president of the Condé Nast Media Group, [[David Carey (businessman)|David Carey]] is the current Group President. [[Thomas J. Wallace]], who was promoted from his position as editor-in-chief of [[Condé Nast Traveler]], is the editorial director.
