Condé Nast has announced in a statement the appointment of Norman Tan (pictured here) as editor-in-chief of Vogue Singapore. The 27th edition of the global fashion authority will launch in Autumn this year, in partnership with Indochine Media. 

Norman joins Vogue Singapore from Esquire Singapore, where he held the role of editor-in-chief for over two years. He successfully launched Buro Singapore in 2015, now bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in both luxury print and digital publishing. Tan graduated from The University of Melbourne with a double degree in commerce and law. 

Joining Tan’s team is Bettina von Schlippe, who comes onboard as publisher of Vogue Singapore. Her award-winning background in communications, media relations and event management includes working with companies such as Condé Nast Russia and advertising agency BBDO. In 2003, Bettina founded her own PR and lifestyle agency R.S.V.P., where she managed luxury portfolios including Chanel, Cartier, L’Oréal and Salone del Mobile amongst many others. She was also the publisher of Buro Singapore for five years. 

The Singapore edition of Vogue aims to establish itself as the most prominent and influential guide to fashion, with a mission to innovatively create impactful images and intelligent stories to inspire and empower. It will feature local and international content through its own unique identity as a bold, modern and sophisticated edition of the brand. Vogue Singapore will launch with an English-language print issue, a website and will have a presence on all relevant social platforms.
