More quotes by Anna Wintour
Go get a job. Whether it’s working as a designer or working in a restaurant and then doing your own thing in your own time, it’s a reality of life. In the end it’s going to be helpful to you and so many others.
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
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.
Anna Wintour
You either know fashion or you don't.
Anna Wintour
It's the mishaps that make it fun, and brings you the surprise.
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
The Trump Card is appealing, grounded, smart, and has a sense of humor. Ivanka Trump proves that believing in yourself and working hard never go out of style.
Anna Wintour
Tears? Are you going for a Barbara Walters moment?
Anna Wintour
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
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
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.
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
Well it just looks so ugly. Is it a boy or is it a girl?
Anna Wintour
Create your own individual style. I'm not interested in the girl who walks into my office in a HEAD-to-TOE LABEL look that's straight off the runway. I'm interested in a Girl who puts herself together in an ORIGINAL INDEPENDENT Way
Anna Wintour
Even if I'm completely unsure, I'll pretend I know exactly what I'm talking about and make a decision.
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
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
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.
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
If you can't be better than your competition, just dress better.
Anna Wintour
