More quotes by 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
The notion that Anna would want something done now and not shortly is accurate.
Anna Wintour
To be in Vogue has to mean something

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.

Fashion is not beautiful, neither is it ugly. Why should it be either? Fashion is fashion.

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

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

Gisele Bundchen is a bit of a jock. 1 of my fave shoots is her playing football
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
If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in the New York Times.
Anna Wintour
I've never taken a selfie and I don't plan to start now.
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
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.
