Content: In 1988 Anna Wintour became editor of Vogue and immediately transformed Vogue covers by emphasizing the woman’s body, rather than just her face, as well as by frequently featuring Hollywood actresses as opposed to traditional fashion models, thereby sparking an international trend. Wintour also began Teen Vogue (2003) and Men’s Vogue (2005–08) in the United States. In 2003 she and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) jointly inaugurated the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, which offered financial support and business mentoring to the “next generation” of American fashion designers. In 2009 the film documentary The September Issue —which chronicled the production of the magazine’s record-breaking 840-page September 2007 issue—was released to critical acclaim. Later that year Vogue launched Fashion’s Night Out, a joint global initiative encouraging people to patronize international designers and retailers during the global financial crisis; the now annual affair marked the largest shopping event in history.
