Seventeen is a monthly Japanese fashion magazine for female teenagers published by Shueisha.

Launched in 1967 as a weekly magazine based on the original American Seventeen, the magazine changed the name to SEVENTEEN in 1987, and to Seventeen in 2008.

Since the late 1990s, Seventeen has been the highest-selling teenage fashion magazine in Japan, and has featured its exclusive teenage models as ST-Mo (STモ - Seventeen Model). Well known former Seventeen models include Rie Miyazawa, Hinano Yoshikawa, Keiko Kitagawa, Anna Tsuchiya, Nana Eikura, and Emi Suzuki.

Since the 2000s, just like other popular teenage fashion magazines, some models are from foreign countries mainly in the Eurasian continent, such as the Republic of Sakha, Taiwan, and especially the People's Republic of China. In most cases, they were discovered in some local auditioning-contests they participated in, or in their local places. The former Seventeen model Yuka Narumi, a $million-earning model, once disclosed her personal history as she was scouted at the orphanage she grew up in, which was located in an inland area of People's Republic of China, when she was 11 or 12 and then immigrated to "some place I didn't know, where every guy looked rich and spoke in some language I didn't know" (i.e. Japan).

These ex-foreigner models increase in number year by year and most of them, especially those from People's Republic of China, have extremely-thin shapes like 5 ft 12 in and 80 - 95 lbs.

VISUAL TALES is a quarterly online menswear journal showcasing the best of what fashion has to offer. Through conceptual to tell-it-like-it-is images and film shorts, the publication brings together leading creative talents and established models and personalities, resulting in collaborations of the highest order. The outcome is intended to inform, to educate, to stimulate, and to inspire.
