I don't think of myself as a powerful person.
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.

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.

I went to Wimbledon before I could walk. It's just been a lifelong passion.
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.
Anna Wintour

I worked for Harper’s Bazaar. They fired me. I recommend that you all get fired it’s a great learning experience.

The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn't true.
Anna Wintour
Image
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.

People respond well to those that are sure of what they want.

Fashion goes in only one direction -forward- and I am a firm believer in thinking that way too.

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