The November 1988 cover of American Vogue, showcasing Israeli model Michaela Bercu in a $10,000 Christian Lacroix jacket, signified a turning point for the magazine under newly appointed editor Anna Wintour. It was the first Vogue cover to feature jeans and marked Wintour's vision for a more accessible fashion narrative. Wintour's style contrasted with her predecessor Grace Mirabella's, who had maintained a more traditional approach. While Mirabella's magazine thrived, it was perceived as increasingly out of touch with contemporary trends. Wintour revitalized the magazine's aesthetic by emphasizing a casual, relatable glamour.
This cover marked a revolution in fashion editorial, presenting a new vision under Anna Wintour's leadership, showcasing a move towards accessibility and modernity.
Wintour's first cover introduced an unpretentious warmth, contrasting with her predecessor's rigid and elegant style, bringing a relatable glamour to the forefront.
