Content: Fearing that the magazine had become complacent or worse, boring, Wintour was placed atop the editorial masthead with all the freedom, not to mention financial backing, that she needed to revitalize the publication. In her three-decade reign at the magazine, Wintour more than accomplished her mission, restoring Vogue 's preeminence while producing some truly mammoth issues. The September 2004 edition, for example, clocked in at 832 pages, the most ever for a monthly magazine. Along the way, Wintour demonstrated fearlessness about forging new ground. She decisively called an end to the supermodel era, showcasing a preference for celebrities rather than models on her covers. Wintour was also the first to truly mix low-end fashion items with more expensive pieces in her photoshoots. Her debut cover in November 1988 included a 19-year-old Israeli model outfitted in a pair of $50 jeans and a $10,000 jewel-encrusted t-shirt. Prolific Fashion Influencer
Despite her claims to the contrary, Wintour became a force in the fashion world, not only through her decisions about what to feature in her magazine but also by breaking in newer designers and celebrating their styles. She helped make the careers of such designers like Marc Jacobs and Alexander McQueen. In recent years, her work has made her a power broker between designers and retailers.
