Does Anna Wintour even need to be introduced anymore ? Renowned journalist, editor, and fashion director, the woman with the iconic square cut has left an indelible mark on the fashion industry. Born in 1949 in London, Wintour quickly developed a keen interest in journalism and fashion thanks to her father, editor-in-chief of the Evening Standard newspaper, and dropped out of school at the age of 15 to pursue a passion which took her to New-York. There, she quickly made a name for herself in the world of fashion journalism, working at various publications, including Harper’s Bazaar, Viva and Condé Nast, the prestigious media conglomerate, which she joined in 1983. Her appointment as the creative director of Vogue US in 1988 marked a turning point in her career, and she went on to become the editor-in-chief of the American edition of Vogue, a position she has held for over three decades. Under Wintour’s leadership, Vogue US has become a cultural phenomenon, setting trends and shaping the fashion industry. Her vision and attention to detail have been instrumental in the magazine’s success, with her carefully curated covers and editorials often making headlines. Wintour’s influence extends beyond Vogue, as she has also served as the artistic director for Condé Nast, overseeing the company’s various publications, and her undeniable impact on the fashion industry will be felt for generations to come. She has been instrumental in launching the careers of countless designers and models, and one cannot forget to mention her annual Met Gala, which has become one of the most prestigious and talked-about events in the fashion calendar. Anna Wintour is a towering figure in the fashion world, who was recently seen at the 2024 Vogue World event during Paris Fashion Week.
