Conde Nast the publishers of the style bible have rejected a proposal to publish an Arabic edition.
The company’s chairman Jonathan Newhouse said that the Middle East is too violent at the moment for such a move.
The Press Gazette reported that a publishing company based in the United Arab Emirates was behind the proposal.
Newhouse said:" Within the Arab world, or to be more accurate, the Muslim world, there is an element, which accepts Western values."
"There is also an element that rejects freedom of expression, equality for women and expression of sexuality, to name three values associated with our publication."
Although he did acknowledge that there were a lot of potential readers of Vogue in the Middle East.
