Boosting revenue with fashion show coverage and discovery.

Vogue Runway, a global destination for fashion show coverage, set out to reimagine its designer collection galleries as a strategic driver for revenue growth. As part of its migration to Condé Nast’s unified design system, I led the redesign—streamlining navigation, tailoring ad placements to user behavior, and addressing platform-specific pain points.

OPPORTUNITY

Redesigning the galleries presented an opportunity to encourage dynamic user engagement while unlocking new revenue streams. By enhancing user flows, encouraging prolonged engagement, and seamlessly integrating ads, we could improve the overall experience without disrupting the visual and editorial appeal.

CHALLENGE

Outdated ad logic and inconsistencies across devices caused navigation friction and limited users’ ability to fully explore Vogue Runway’s fashion show coverage. The challenge was to design a scalable, user-centric solution that balanced improved usability with business objectives across a variety of gallery formats.

RESULTS

The redesigned galleries seamlessly blended immersive exploration with optimized ad placements, leading to higher user engagement and extended session durations. This scalable framework became a model for gallery design across other Condé Nast properties, including The New Yorker and PhotoVogue.
