    Anna: The Biography

    This definitive and “fascinating portrait of the secretive queen of fashion” (Andrew Morton, New York Times bestselling author) follows Anna Wintour’s steep and ambitious climb to becoming 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 London—an 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—in one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine history—she continued the fight to retain her enviable position, ultimately rising to dominate all of Condé Nast.

Anna does not tolerate anyone who does not fit that mould.

    Except for Andre Leon Talley who was her best, best friend from the moment they met, and he topped 400lb at his most obese. Even when she downgraded his job at Vogue (not as much as he whined about in his book she still supported him, still wanted to see him, and still took him on her personal shopping trips. But since he was a major overspender and the publishers had had enough of funding his over-the-top lifestyle, she no longer gave him expenses and that put his nose out of joint.

    Other than that, there is precious little in the book of Anna's personal relationships. They are just names and kind of amorphous descriptions, even her husbands don't come to life in this book. It's all about Anna the career woman, Anna the private person is not revealed. Perhaps she really has achieved the ideal celebrity: a huge public presence with the salary to match and a satisfyi
