September 1992: Linda Evangelista, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier Liz Tilberis's first issue as editor relaunched an American title with a single coverline: Enter the Era of Elegance. Evangelista, in black, raises one hand as if lifting a letter of the masthead into place, so the model and the typography become one design. After years of crowded coverlines, its spareness was a statement, and the cover is still studied for how much it achieves with so little.
