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. S.I. Newhouse Jr. recently announced the launch of his newest magazine, a business monthly called Condé Nast Portfolio.

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.

The Condé Nast family of publications also includes Fairchild Publications, a former competitor before it was bought by S.I. Newhouse Jr. 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, in 1909. In 1959, S.I. Newhouse, Sr. purchased a controlling interest. It is now part of the holding company Advance Publications which is owned by the Newhouse family.
