Michaela Bercu 1988 cover of American "Vogue" wearing a bejeweled Christian Lacroix T-shirt and a pair of faded jeans; the shot was done outdoors in natural light. It was Anna Wintour's first cover since taking over as the magazine's editor-in-chief, and was seen as signaling a break from the more formal and posed cover images favored by her predecessor, Grace Mirabella. It was also the first time a model on the cover of "Vogue" was shown wearing jeans. Bercu was also the first Israeli woman to be featured on the cover of American "Vogue". She would later appear on the covers of
Seventeen (American magazine) seeking guidance on how to satisfy consumer demand among teenagers. Today, the magazine entertains as well as promotes self-confidence in young women. Sylvia Plath submitted nearly fifty pieces to "Seventeen" before her first short story, "And Summer Will Not Come Again", was accepted and published in the August 1950 issue. Joyce Walker became the first black model to be featured on the cover of Seventeen magazine in July 1971. In the early 1980s, Whitney Houston was also featured on the cover of the magazine. News Corporation bought Triangle in 1988 and sold "Seventeen" to K-III Communications (later Primedia) in 1991.
