About Teen Vogue
Teen Vogue is a Condé Nast title, launched as a younger sister to Vogue. It covers fashion, beauty, entertainment and culture for a young audience, and became known for pairing that with coverage of politics, identity and social issues.
Why a feature here matters
Teen Vogue speaks directly to young readers who are forming their tastes and loyalties, so a feature there puts a brand or founder in front of a generation of future customers in a name they recognise.
Best for: Fashion and beauty founders, young entrepreneurs, designers, creators, musicians, activists and brands built for a Gen Z audience.
How coverage happens at Teen Vogue
There are two ways in. The first is to pitch Teen Vogue yourself. Its editors look after defined areas such as fashion, beauty, entertainment and culture, so the practical route is a short pitch to the editor who covers your subject, or through any contributor route the site lists. That is free, but it is slow, there is no promise of a reply, and the editors decide what runs. The second way is to work with DNA. We develop the angle with you, write the story to Teen Vogue's standard and manage the placement. You approve every word before it goes live, and we tell you plainly if your story would suit a different title better.
The kind of story that lands
Teen Vogue readers are young, culturally engaged and quick to spot anything that feels like a sales pitch, so the story has to be about something real. A young founder building a fashion or beauty brand with a clear point of view, a designer working with sustainable or inclusive sizing, a musician or creator with a story behind the work, or an activist with first-hand experience of an issue all fit. Strong pieces have a distinctive voice, a person at the centre and a reason a young reader would share them. Corporate announcements, generic product launches and stories with no connection to youth culture do not suit Teen Vogue.
How to Get Featured in Teen Vogue
To get featured in Teen Vogue, you need a story that genuinely speaks to young readers and a way to put it in front of the editor who covers that subject. You can pitch yourself, as a writer with an op-ed or as a founder or creator with a story, or you can have a feature developed and placed with professional help.
Pitching is free, but Teen Vogue's editors decide what runs and there is no promise of a reply. DNA offers another way in: we develop the angle with you, write the story to Teen Vogue's standard, manage the placement, and you approve every word before it goes live.
What Teen Vogue is
Teen Vogue is a Condé Nast title, launched as a younger sister to Vogue. It grew from a fashion and beauty magazine into a digital brand known for treating young readers as serious, informed people. It became especially well known for pairing style coverage with reporting and commentary on politics, identity and social issues.
What Teen Vogue covers
Coverage centres on fashion, beauty, entertainment and culture: trends, designers, celebrities, music, film and television, and the brands young people care about. Alongside that, Teen Vogue has published news, explainers, first-person essays and opinion pieces on the issues its readers face, from education and work to wellbeing and activism. The voice is direct, inclusive and written for a Gen Z audience.
How to get featured in Teen Vogue
Start by working out which part of Teen Vogue your story belongs in. A beauty founder, a fashion designer and a young activist would each approach a different editor. Read recent coverage in that area, note who edits or writes it, and send a short pitch that explains the story in two or three sentences, why it matters to young readers now, and why you are the right person to tell it.
- Be specific about the person, the product or the experience at the centre of the story.
- Show the youth angle rather than assuming it.
- Keep promotion out. Editors are looking for stories, not campaigns.
How to get published in Teen Vogue
Teen Vogue has published op-eds and personal essays by outside contributors, including young writers and activists writing from direct experience. If you want to write for Teen Vogue yourself, check the site for any current contributor or pitching route; where none is listed, the practical option is a concise pitch to the editor who covers your subject. An op-ed pitch should state your argument clearly, explain why it is timely, and show what gives you standing to make it. The editors decide what is commissioned.
What makes a strong story for Teen Vogue
The strongest stories have a real person and a distinctive point of view. A young founder building an inclusive beauty brand, a designer rethinking sizing or sustainability, a musician with a story behind a debut, or a student organiser with first-hand experience of an issue all fit. Corporate announcements and generic launches do not. For an older fashion and beauty readership, compare how stories are shaped for Glamour.
How the process works
With DNA, the work runs in four steps. We check whether your story suits Teen Vogue's readers and tell you if it does not. You share the substance. We draft the story to Teen Vogue's standard and revise it with you. Once you approve every word, we manage the placement and send you the live link.
How long it takes
The angle, drafting, your review and the placement all take time. Expect weeks rather than days.
