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.

More quotes by Anna Wintour
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.
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.
Anna Wintour
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
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.
Anna Wintour
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
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
I wasn't academically successful. And maybe I've spent a lot of my career trying to make up for that.
Anna Wintour
The notion that Anna would want something done now and not shortly is accurate.
Anna Wintour
Well it just looks so ugly. Is it a boy or is it a girl?
Anna Wintour
One wants to be surprised.
Anna Wintour
I want 'Vogue' to be pacy, sharp, and sexy - I'm not interested in the super-rich or infinitely leisured. I want our readers to be energetic executive women, with money of their own and a wide range of interests. There is a new kind of woman out there. She's interested in business and money.
Anna Wintour
Everyone should be sacked at least once in their career because perfection doesn't exist. It's important to have setbacks, because that is the reality of life.
Anna Wintour
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.
Anna Wintour
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.
Anna Wintour
It's the mishaps that make it fun, and brings you the surprise.
Anna Wintour
It is a family it's a slightly dysfunctional family, but it's also very close and warm and loving family.
Anna Wintour
It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.
Anna Wintour
I don't think of myself as a powerful person.
Anna Wintour
Gisele Bundchen is a bit of a jock. 1 of my fave shoots is her playing football
Anna Wintour
If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque, it's simply because I'm striving for the best.
Anna Wintour
