American fashion and culture magazine founded in 1892 — transformed into the world's most powerful fashion publication by Anna Wintour beginning in 1988 — serving as the definitive arbiter of fashion trends and launching the careers of designers and photographers.
Became the fashion industry's most important cultural institution — not merely reporting fashion but creating it, with the September issue functioning as the annual fashion Bible — and under Wintour developed into a cultural force extending from fashion into politics, music, and social causes.
