I surround myself with a talented group of people that are opinionated and interesting. I try to remain very open to what others have to say.

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.

It's important for young women and men coming out of the fashion schools to think seriously before starting their own collections.
Anna Wintour
Image
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.

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.

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

I've been very lucky to put women that I sincerely admire on the cover of 'Vogue:' the then First Lady and now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and, more recently, First Lady Michelle Obama. Those were benchmarks for the magazine, and certainly covers that I've been very, very proud of.

Some people have the Bible. I have Vogue.

[The democratization of luxury] means more people are going to get better fashion. And the more people who can have fashion, the better.
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
You can’t really worry too much…about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.

It's the mishaps that make it fun, and brings you the surprise.
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
The notion that Anna would want something done now and not shortly is accurate.
Anna Wintour
Image
I look for strong people. I don't like people who'll say yes to everything I might bring up. I want people who can argue and disagree and have a point of view that's reflected in the magazine. My dad believed in the cult of personality. He brought great writers and columnists to The Standard.
