Vogue.com Digital Redesign
In the ever-changing digital landscape, it was time for a fresh, new look for Vogue.com. A few years after its last redesign, Vogue, the world’s most influential fashion magazine, was ready to elevate its digital experience to a more responsive, real-time platform for its devoted readers. Building on the success of the previous redesign, Vogue once again approached Code and Theory to address new challenges: supporting a higher volume of content, focusing more on news, and expanding its audience beyond its core Vogue fans while maintaining its directional and sophisticated brand. A critical goal was to enhance workflow by providing the Vogue.com team with near-limitless creative freedom to swiftly respond to user and advertiser needs, regardless of location. This required implementing a flexible platform capable of adapting to Vogue.com's evolving requirements, achieved by developing the site with WordPress, which aligned with the broader Condé Nast vision.

Vogue.com Digital Transformation
Stylized for Fashion Lovers Repositioning Vogue.com as a place for fashion lovers to have a daily or many times per day experience around their passion meant bringing the elegance of a fashion brand to the experience paradigms of a news platform. Our curated design system reflects that delicate balance.
An Integrative Content Platform Condé Nast’s vision for sustaining all their brands under a unified platform led us to develop the site using WordPress. Their content required custom templates within Wordpress for fashion shows and fashion week coverage that needed to be flexible to accommodate the fast-paced nature of fashion content. The result was a fast performing site across every viewport, with a vast archive of beautiful content.
Authentic Design Through The Vogue Lens The new look and feel had to be unmistakably Vogue, but also convey a sense of freshness and urgency that readers have come to expect from all publisher websites.Creative Directors from both sides were paired up and worked side-by-side, designing in real time to define a new visual language for the brand in digital.
Full-screen Immersive Experiences The design system we created reflects the balance between helping users move easily through the site and arresting them with stunning imagery and immersive full-screen experiences around original fashion editorial and runway show galleries.
