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
[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
I'm very good at delegating - people work much better when they have a real sense of responsibility. But at the same time, I don't like surprises. I don't pore over every shoot, but I do like to be aware at all times of what's going on.

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

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.

Fashion goes in only one direction -forward- and I am a firm believer in thinking that way too.
Anna Wintour
Image
Fashion's not about looking back. It's always about looking forward.

Gisele Bundchen is a bit of a jock. 1 of my fave shoots is her playing football

I've never taken a selfie and I don't plan to start now.

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
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
Image
I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.

Tears? Are you going for a Barbara Walters moment?
Anna Wintour

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.

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.
