Anna Wintour - editor in chief of the fashion magazine number №1, example for other editors, and to all the women who dreams of a brilliant career. It is not seen in any sin, but it was called "the devil", is extremely calm and balanced, but it is called "bitch." Who just did not compare it from Jacqueline Kennedy and Margaret Thatcher to Catherine the Great. Anna Wintour is considered an icon of a business lady - without fear, age, reproach and feelings.
It could be called a cyborg in a skirt, because being the queen of modern fashion for almost 20 years, Wintour has not fallen prey to human weaknesses: not stout, not surrounded herself with the favorites, did not stay up until dawn in the secular parties, not weakened the iron grip. < br />
It is the worst woman in the world - said one of the Italian designer, Anna Wintour making it the most coveted compliment.
When Anna was 10 years old, she had to fill out a school questionnaire, and she stumbled on a question about the future profession - she did not know what to write. Then her father took so advised:
Write what you want to become editor of VOGUE
Anna so she did. It is worth noting that at the time his father Wintour (who was the editor of the British newspaper The Evening Standard) called "cold Charles." This is to ensure that years later Anna was given the nickname of the "nuclear winter».
At age 14, Anna was first tonsured his legendary square. And 16 it was expelled from school for violating the dress code, and the provocative appearance in the class in mini-skirts.
As from the date of filling the notorious questionnaire took 11 years, Anna has made its first step on the career ladder in the world mody.Tak in 1970, she decided not to go to college and get an assistant in the department of fashion British Harper's Bazaar. After just 2 years Wintour becomes deputy editor in 1976 - fashion editor of American Harper's Bazaar, and in 1983 - already creative director of American Vogue
After some time, Wintour was sent to England to lead the British Vogue magazine while House & Garden, which she immediately changed its name to H & G. And then I began to alternate fresh interiors photographs of models and celebrities. The result exceeded all expectations: the editorial board had to allocate a separate phone line, or could not in any way deal with all calls from outraged readers.
So thoroughly shaking House & Garden, Anna was able to prove conclusively that in her power to breathe new life into the magazine, stuck in place in its development.
The investigation that was still the same - in 1988, Grace Mirabella was dismissed from his post as editor in chief of American Vogue, and on the throne sat down triumphantly fashion Anna Wintour, who immediately set about implementing their revolutions.
For a start similar to each other, the blonde model had been forced to make room and give place to new character - Cheryl Tiggs, Patti Hansen, Kim Alexis. The focus has been exposed directly to the body of the model, and the traditional studio photos were driven almost entirely filming al fresco. His first cover of Anna Wintour decorated 19-year-old Israeli model in the shabby jeans and US $ 50 in the top Christian Lacroix, which was embroidered with precious stones.
So Wintour start and continued consistently breaking all the stereotypes, proving that fashion is a game. Therefore, it is without a doubt establish their own rules and made the rest of the fashion world to follow them.
The first rule - you want to appear on the pages of Vogue - Remove excess weight. The American TV star Oprah Winfrey has been forced, for example, to lose as much as 9 kilograms.
The second rule - if at the last moment the chief editor of a sudden decide that you're not in the spirit of Vogue, just accept it and find the strength to live on. For example, in 1999, Anna Wintour looked trial photographing Jennifer Lopez and refused to cover her. Her verdict was "too vulgar!" This sentence is usually final and is not subject to any appeal.
Most fashion journalists do not take up the handle until Wintour begins to write without it just does not show starts. Or finish them earlier. For example, three days reduced the Paris Fashion Week, because Wintour did not want to stay in Paris for many days. As a result, show starts at 8:45 in the morning and held them to 13 a day.
Anna Wintour favorably with the rest of the editors and fashion journalists, even those that rarely is black; beige, white, suede, fur boas, for which it hates PETA, and the constant already legendary Prada.
In protest, animal rights, no time attacked Wintour cakes and distributing photographs of her with the slogan - "Fur are beautiful animals and ugly people!". Only she spit on such provocations. Wear longer fur! - She said, and simply wiped off the face of the cake.
Anna Wintour is famous not only for their workaholism, but the fact that his whole life has never retreated from his regime, which she herself has established once and for all. She does not drink alcohol, does not stay at the party for more than 20 minutes and goes to bed at 10 pm, to climb to 5.45 am. Further, coffee, tennis, and 7.00 come up artists, stylists and hairdressers - and raced ...
Wintour does not tolerate handbags, but almost never takes off sunglasses by Chanel. She is constantly in your life looks like now would be to speak to a large audience. Rumor has it that if you want to photograph in the passport, or the inviting Wintour Anne Leibovitz, David LaChapelle or.
In the edition of Vogue editor in chief has established its own set of rules. Firstly, no food! Second, younger employees in any time does not have to start talking with the older first. One of these employees once foolishly welcomed boss confronted her in the elevator, and then immediately received a personal reprimand.
One day Anna let slip that he would never take a job fat girl, no matter how gifted editor it was, and still did not experience remorse.
For me it is very important to the people who work here, especially in the fashion department, served that way to outsiders immediately understood - they are from Vogue.
Salary Wintour is about a million dollars a year, plus a generous "tip": 25 thousand. Dollars - a "ration" on clothes, car and driver, free travel on all European shows and, of course, a room at the Ritz. Every year at Christmas accessories department Vogue goes crazy, picking up gifts for friends, family and loved Anna advertisers. More precisely it is crazy that unfortunate, who appoint the responsible, and all the rest of the staff sincerely sympathize with him.
Its impenetrable armor did not give even a crack, when all the world's media began to persuade her romantic affair with a married Texan tycoon Shelby Bryan. But Anna again did not comment on anything and did not succumb to anyone's expectations - it just divorced and connect with Brian. And having worked here simply and clearly, without changing color.
She never commented on the book "The Devil Wears Prada». But it lacked a sense of humor, not to interfere with the film's release and to come to the premiere of his from head to toe in the packed Prada.
In 2008, England's Queen Elizabeth II personally presented the Snow Queen Anna Wintour fashion Honorary Order of the British Empire.
