“The runway is no longer just a runway, it’s now a force for change in politics,” Anna Wintour

 

Print Journalism is in this women's blood. Her father Charles was the editor of the London Evening Standard from 1959 to 1976. She began her career at Harpers and Queen in London (now Harper's Bazaar) Today she is Anna Wintour of Vogue, The Anna!

Nicknamed "Nuclear Wintour" (owing to her cold demenour) Ms. Wintour loves to wear same ensemble time to time and she too made a few mistakes back in the day.

In 1986 Wintour became chief editor of the Condé Nast-owned British Vogue in London. "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,"

 

"The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying"  Anna Wintour

 

"I am certainly very competitive. I like people who represent the best at what they do, and if that turns you into a perfectionist than maybe I am." Anna Wintour
