Anna Wintour, OBE (born 3 November 1949) is the English editor-in-chief of American Vogue, a position she has held since 1988. In 2013, she became artistic director for Condé Nast, Vogue's publisher.
With her trademark pageboy bob haircut
and sunglasses, Wintour has become an important figure in much of the
fashion world, widely praised for her eye for fashion trends and her
support for younger designers. Her reportedly aloof and demanding personality has earned her the nickname "Nuclear Wintour".
She is the eldest daughter of Charles Wintour, editor of the London Evening Standard.
Her father consulted her on how to make the newspaper relevant to the
youth of the era. Anna became interested in fashion as a teenager.
Her
career in fashion journalism began at two British magazines. Later, she moved to the United States, with stints at New York and House & Garden. She returned home for a year to turn around British Vogue,
and later assumed control of the franchise's magazine in New York,
reviving what many saw as a stagnating publication.
Her use of the
magazine to shape the fashion industry has been the subject of debate
within it. Animal rights
activists have attacked her for promoting fur, while other critics have
charged her with using the magazine to promote elitist views of
femininity and beauty.
A former personal assistant, Lauren Weisberger, wrote the 2003 best selling roman à clefThe Devil Wears Prada, later made into a successful film starring Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, a fashion editor, believed to be based on Wintour. In 2009, she was the focus of another film, R.J. Cutler's documentary The September Issue.
Anna Dello Russo is the editor -at-large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan. Dello Russo was born in Bari, and currently resides in Sarajevo.
She is self-described as a "passionate fashionista" and has been described by Helmut Newton as a "fashion maniac".
Dello Russo is often featured in popular street style blogs The Sartorialist and Jak & Jil. She has gone on record to state that she owns over 4,000 pairs of shoes.
To celebrate their 10 year anniversary, the clothing website yoox.com
printed 10 different shirts for sale, each with one of Dello Russo's
top ten outfits. The shirts went on to sell out within the first day
they were made available.
In November 2010 she made a new fragrance named Beyond, with the bottle in the form of a shoe.
On October 4, 2012, Dello Russo released a line of accessories through her collaboration with Swedish fashion giant, H&M. The highly anticipated collection comprises jewelry, luggage, sunglasses and even an ornate feather hat.
