Anna Wintour’s impact on Vogue and who may succeed her

Anna Wintour steps aside as Vogue editor-in-chief after decades of defining fashion cultureWhen Anna Wintour presented her initial edition of American Vogue at the end of 1988, the reaction from the magazine's printer was surprising: "Was there an error?" The cover, showcasing model Michaela Bercu in a Christian Lacroix couture jacket combined with denim jeans, was a departure from the meticulously styled, formal portraits that had characterized the magazine for many years.
