Anna Wintour
With a keen design eye, Dame Anna Wintour has honed the style and taste of American Vogue since 1988, successfully keeping the magazine relevant, influential, and directional.
Given fickle tastes and trends, which change at light-speed in the fashion industry, shepherding the world’s most prestigious style magazine across five decades is no mean feat.
Wintour has helped the careers of countless designers and creatives, behind and in front of the camera, as well as inspired characters in many TV shows and films.
Apart from her passion for tennis (Anna is a frequent visitor to Wimbledon), not much is known about the private life of the editor of the world’s most influential fashion magazine yet, with her signature bob and sunglasses, Wintour’s iconic silhouette has cut through into popular culture globally.
Any fashion-related character with a sharp bob (such as Edna Mode from “The Incredibles” or Fey Sommers in “Ugly Betty”) has surely taken their cue from the instantly-recognisable fashion editor.
Whilst the film adaptation of “The Devil Wears Prada” was initially misinterpreted as a critique on the fashion industry and the demands placed on junior staffers, appreciation has grown over the years to recognise the reality of a hard-working young woman being hindered by a whiny boyfriend (who blows all her hard-earned salary on Dean & Deluca cheese) whilst being trained & educated by an exceptional figurehead.
Placing the magazine at the centre of the fashion world’s most photographed events such as Vogue World and the Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York named the wing housing the Costume Institute’s collection after the renowned editor, The Anna Wintour Costume Center.
It’s wonderful to see a Brit succeed at the pinnacle of the fashion industry; similar to when a British performer is nominated for an Oscar, there’s a patriotic feeling of pride that feels like one of the family doing well.
