About This Book
This definitive New York Times bestselling biography of Anna Wintour, now featuring a new afterword, follows the steep climb of an ambitious young woman who wouldâwith singular and legendary focusâbecome one of the most powerful people in media. As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, an influential newspaper editor, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor-in-chief of Vogue, she never looked back.Impatient to start her career, she left high school and got a job at a trendy boutique in Londonâan experience that would be the first of many defeats. Undeterred, she found work in the competitive world of magazines, eventually embarking on a journey to New York and a battle to ascend, no matter who or what stood in her way. Once she was crowned editor-in-chief of Vogue âin one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine historyâshe continued the fight to retain her enviable position, ultimately rising to dominate all of CondĂ© Nast.Named one of Time 's 100 Must-Read Books of 2022, this in-depth and revealing biography is based on extensive interviews with Anna Wintour's closest friends and collaborators. Weaving Anna's personal story into a larger narrative about the hierarchical dynamics of the fashion industry and the complex world of CondĂ© Nast, Anna charts the relentless ambition of the woman who would become an icon.
