First published in September 1944 by Walter Annenberg's Triangle Publications, Seventeen is an American magazine for teenagers. The magazine's reader base is 13-to-19-year-old females. It began as a publication geared towards inspiring teen girls to become model workers and citizens.
Soon after its debut, Seventeen took a more fashion and romance-oriented approach in presenting its material while promoting self-confidence in young women.
Here is a charming photo collection of female fashion that this magazine introduced in the 1950s.
