Vanity Fair ranks 5th in our list of the most popular fashion magazines in the world. Vanity Fair’s story actually began in 1913 and was edited by Condé Nast until 1936, when it was folded into Vogue, as a consequence of the Great Depression. It came back in 1983, becoming a monthly publication, and expanding overseas. It features articles on fashion, culture, and politics, but it is mostly known for its controversial photography, featuring artists such as Mario Testino, Herb Ritz, and Annie Leibovitz.
Fun fact: In 1991, Annie Leibovitz photographed a naked, pregnant Demi Moore. The picture was printed on the cover, creating an iconic moment in pop culture history.
