Of all the
high-fashion, high-concept, high-flying September magazine covers out there, this is our fave. Behold the first-ever cover of
Seventeen magazine, from September 1944, which will also be the subscription cover of their upcoming September 2009 issue in honor of their 65th anniversary. We love that the cover model hasn't changed: a young, pretty, all-American girl. But everything else has! Notice the single cover line? The first edition keeps it simple with "Young fashions & beauty, movies & music, ideas & people," instead of the standard shtick you see on teen
fashion magazines today ("284 ways to change your look" anyone?). The magazine was pretty cheap too, only $0.13. Today, it's $2.99. Head over to
