ANNA WINTOUR | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Anna Wintour (born November 3, 1949) is a British-American fashion editor and the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, a position she has held since 1988. She became interested in fashion as a teenager. Her father, Charles, editor of the Evening Standard, often consulted with her on how to make the newspaper’s coverage relevant to the youth of mid-1960s London. After dropping out of school at 16, she began a career in fashion journalism. Her career took her across the Atlantic, with notable stints at New York and House & Garden. She returned home for a tumultuous year to turn around British Vogue, and later assumed control of the franchise’s magazine in New York. She revived a stagnant publication, a success that has earned her wide acclaim in the industry.
