Is the name Conde Nast female or male?
He was male. Condé Montrose Nast (March 26, 1873 – September 19, 1942) was the founder of Condé Nast Publications, a leading American magazine publisher known for publications such as Vanity Fair and Vogue. Nast did not take well to law, and upon graduation he got a job working for a former classmate as advertising manager for Collier’s Weekly (1898–1907). Over the course of a decade he increased the advertising revenue 100-fold. He then left Collier’s and bought Vogue, then a small New York society magazine, transforming it into America’s premier fashion magazine. He then turned Vanity Fair into a sophisticated general interest publication.
