A biography of fashion queen Anna Wintour opens up her world to us and we can’t help but look in
Anna Wintour
After watching the documentary The September Issue, it’s been clear that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour’s job is not all heels and autumn looks. If you’ve developed a prejudice after watching The Devil Wears Prada, then read Wintour’s biography, written by Amy Odell, to know both sides of the runway. The best thing about the book? It’s not just about Wintour, the person; through her always-on dark glasses, the book explores fashion journalism and the magazine industry. It reveals what it takes to build an empire, how does one gain currency in fashion to eventually influence it. And to anyone who thought Anna had it easy—because her father was the editor of a London daily, well that’s not the case. Hers is the story of being the black sheep—the one everyone secretly admired, but wanted to see fail. How she still managed to claw her way up is the true story of every hustler ever. Do read to get inspired and up your game!
