InStyle is an American monthly women's fashion magazine founded in 1994.[2] It was published in the United States by Dotdash Meredith, and started originally as a brand extension of People before carving out its own identity.[3] In February 2022, it was announced that InStyle would cease print publications and move to a digital-only format.[4]

Description

[edit]

The magazines content included beauty, fashion, home, entertaining, philanthropy, celebrity lifestyles, feminism, and human-interest stories.

In 2018, InStyle became the first major fashion magazine to ban photography of and advertisements featuring fur. The ban on fur intended to showcase the animal cruelty necessary to produce fur garments, and to encourage others to refrain from fur consumption. The organization PETA was supportive of the editorial change.

Dotdash Meredith, the media group that acquired InStyle in 2021, announced that they would be terminating the publication's print issues. InStyle's final print publication was the April 2022 issue. InStyle subsequently became digital-only. Neil Vogel, CEO of Dotdash Meredith, stated that the magazine would move to an all digital format because "print is no longer serving the brand's core purpose."[5]
