Vogue seeks new head of editorial content after Anna Wintour steps down

Wintour is considered to be one of the most influential forces in global fashion. She became editor-in-chief of Vogue in 1988 after working for London's Harpers & Queen magazine, New York's Harper's Bazaar, and the British edition of Vogue. She launched Teen Vogue in 2003 and Men's Vogue in 2005.

Anna Wintour's first American Vogue cover, for the November 1988 issue, starred model Michaela Bercu in a bejeweled jacket and jeans. Editor's Note: Delving into the archives of pop culture history, “Remember When?” is a CNN Style series offering a nostalgic look at the celebrity outfits that defined their eras.

Dame Anna Wintour had just sent off her first edition of US Vogue in October 1988 when the magazine received a phone call from the printers.
