You either know fashion or you don't.

I don’t like people who are late.
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.

There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous.

If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque, it's simply because I'm striving for the best.

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.

Fashion's not about looking back. It's always about looking forward.

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
Image
People constantly make the mistake of comparing London with New York, Milan and Paris and that's not what it's about. London has its own fashion identity. You come here to find the next Alexander McQueen or John Galliano.

I'd just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses.
Anna Wintour
Image
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
Image
I'm interested in seeing just the girl on the street because she is unlike any other. I'm inspired by whatever it is she might be wearing.
Anna Wintour
Image
It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.
Anna Wintour
Image
It is a family it's a slightly dysfunctional family, but it's also very close and warm and loving family.
Anna Wintour
Image
Fashion is a reflection of our times. Fashion can tell you everything that's going on in the world with a strong fashion image.
Anna Wintour
Image
Some people have the Bible. I have Vogue.

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.
