In celebration of the magazine's 120th birthday, Vogue has been mining their archives for all kinds of fun anecdotes and trivia this month. Most recently, they've posted a roundup of their most repeated cover girls over the years.
For the most part, this trip down Vogue's memory lane harkens back to a time when models, not celebrities, got the cover honors, and cover stories were planned around fashion spreads, not movie releases (or, ahem, fragrance launches). So cover repeats with whatever model happened to be hottest at the time were much more frequent. Cindy Crawford graced the cover no fewer than 18 times in her career, for example, and Claudia Schiffer is close behind her with 16 covers under her belt. And the most repeated Vogue cover girl of all time? The inimitable Lauren Hutton, with a whopping 26. See who else dominated the newsstand after the jump.
