Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour is a British-American journalist, who has served as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue magazine since 1988. she is also the Global Editorial Director of Vogue. With her trademark bob haircut and dark sunglasses, Wintour has become an important figure in much of the fashion world, praised for her eye for emerging fashion trends.

“I think my father really decided for me that I should work in fashion”, she recalled in one of her interviews. He arranged for his daughter’s first job when she was 15.

She went to work at Vogue later when Alex Liberman, who was then the editorial director for Condé Nast and publisher of Vogue, talked to Wintour about a position there in 1983.

In 1985, Wintour attained her first editorship, taking over the UK edition of Vogue after Beatrix Miller retired. Once in charge, she replaced many of the staff and exerted far more control over the magazine than any previous editor had, earning the nickname “Nuclear Wintour” in the process.

I chose to do my assignment about Anna Wintour because she is one of the most creative individuals people I can think about and also she is a successful woman.

She inspires me to think big and achieve my goals.
