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

Gisele Bundchen is a bit of a jock. 1 of my fave shoots is her playing football
Anna Wintour
Image
I’m very driven by what I do. I am certainly very competitive. I like people who represent the best at what they do. If that turns you into a perfectionist then maybe I am.
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.

It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.
Anna Wintour
Image
Fashion goes in only one direction -forward- and I am a firm believer in thinking that way too.
Anna Wintour
Image
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.

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
Image
I went to Wimbledon before I could walk. It's just been a lifelong passion.
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
I wasn't academically successful. And maybe I've spent a lot of my career trying to make up for that.
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.

To be in Vogue has to mean something
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
[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 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
Image
One should look forward rather than backwards.
Anna Wintour
Image
Fashion's not about looking back. It's always about looking forward.
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.
