It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.

More quotes by Anna Wintour
There's a new kind of woman out there…She doesn't have time to shop anymore. She wants to know what and why and where and how.
Anna Wintour
Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come from you. You can’t really worry too much by looking to the left and the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.
Anna Wintour
I went to Wimbledon before I could walk. It's just been a lifelong passion.
Anna Wintour
I want 'Vogue' to be pacy, sharp, and sexy - I'm not interested in the super-rich or infinitely leisured. I want our readers to be energetic executive women, with money of their own and a wide range of interests. There is a new kind of woman out there. She's interested in business and money.
Anna Wintour
If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in the New York Times.
Anna Wintour
Part of the pleasure of editing 'Vogue,' one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.
Anna Wintour
In today's world you have to interact. You can't be some difficult, shy person who is not able to look somebody in the face you have to present yourself. You have to know how to talk about your vision, your focus and what you believe in.
Anna Wintour
If you can't be better than your competition, just dress better.
Anna Wintour
Fashion goes in only one direction -forward- and I am a firm believer in thinking that way too.
Anna Wintour
Gisele Bundchen, along w Kate Moss, is a phenomenon. I wish models knew they have to have a personality
Anna Wintour
It's not so much about powerful women. In some cases, there are stereotypes about women. I often don't hear men talked about in the same way. It's more a sexist stereotype than a powerful stereotype.
Anna Wintour
I'm an ice queen, I'm the Sun King, I'm an alien fleeing from District 9 and I'm a dominatrix. So I reckon that makes me a lukewarm royalty with a whip from outer space.
Anna Wintour
Some people have the Bible. I have Vogue.
Anna Wintour
It's possible in today's world to be instantly famous, whether it's through Instagram or whatever platform it may be, but it's a very different matter to be successful financially and in the long-term
Anna Wintour
I think possibly what people working for one hate the most is indecision. Even if I'm completely unsure, I'll pretend I know exactly what I'm talking about and make a decision. The most important thing I can do is try and make myself very clearly understood.
Anna Wintour
To be in Vogue has to mean something
Anna Wintour
I saw young women in the street dressing in a way that I thought was influencing the designers. Fashion was being influenced by all sorts of different people, and culture and also across the street. So I saw more as a trickle up, than a trickle down influence. When I came to Vogue, that's what I wanted it to reflect.
Anna Wintour
The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying. This is America, not Saudi Arabia.
Anna Wintour
If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque, it's simply because I'm striving for the best.
Anna Wintour
It's the mishaps that make it fun, and brings you the surprise.
Anna Wintour
