Anna Wintour's first Vogue cover was the November 1988 issue that featured model, Michaela Bercu wearing a 50 US dollars worth jeans. The Israeli actress also had a Christian Lacroix sweater on paired with it that was valued at 10,000 US dollars. Speaking about it Anna told Vogue back in 2012, "It was so unlike the studied and elegant close-ups that were typical of Vogue's covers back then, with tons of makeup and major jewelry. This one broke all the rules."
She further added, "Afterwards, in the way that these things can happen, people applied all sorts of interpretations: It was about mixing high and low, Michaela was pregnant, it was a religious statement. But none of these things was true. I had just looked at that picture and sensed the winds of change. And you can't ask for more from a cover image than that."
