Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. Hidden behind her trademark bob and sunglasses, she has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her magazine—until now.
Condé Montrose Nast, the founder of Condé Nast Publications, bought Vogue in 1909 and transformed it into a women's fashion magazine focused on beauty, composure, and etiquette. The magazine soon became known for its distinctive photographs and high editorial quality.
“I have no plans to leave my job,” Wintour told BBC. During the interview, the style connoisseur revealed why she wears her signature sunglasses at all times as well. “They help me see and they help me not see.
Wintour reportedly makes at least $2 million annually as the editor-in-chief of Vogue, plus her $200,000 workwear allowance and earnings as Condé Nast artistic director.
Gemma Ward is an Australian model and actress. She was discovered at the age of 14 whilst accompanying a friend to a model competition, where she ended up being scouted herself. At 16, she became the youngest model to appear on the cover of American Vogue.
Arthur Baldwin Turnure (1856–1906), an American businessman, founded Vogue as a weekly newspaper based in New York City, sponsored by Kristoffer Wright, with its first issue on December 17, 1892. The first issue was published with a cover price of 10 cents (equivalent to $3.5 in 2024).
In 1988 Wintour replaced Grace Mirabella as editor in chief at American Vogue. The move came three years after the American launch of the French magazine Elle, which consistently threatened to reduce Vogue's circulation and advertising revenue.
Anna Wintour, CH DBE, Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue and the chief content officer of Condé Nast. She's easily the most admired and feared fashion icon. Hiding behind her signature Chanel sunglasses and a precise bob, she's been the epitome of power and influence in fashion for decades.

Her annual clothing budget is reportedly as high as $200,000
In addition to her annual allowance, the British editor is reportedly gifted many high-fashion clothes and pieces from designers.
Anna Wintour doesn't always carry a handbag. But when she does, she prefers Fendi. (Yes, this is a reference to those old Dos Equis commercials—IYKYK.) While attending fashion shows in Paris, London, Milan, and New York, she typically does not bring a purse.
She makes it a goal to work through everything before the next day, “It's super important to me to get everything done at night so I can keep on top of the work and nobody is waiting for my feedback.” Wintour will typically head off to bed at 10.15pm, getting anywhere between 6 to 7 hours of sleep per night.
In fact, as dinner rolls around, Anna loves grilled fish and pasta, in particular, carbonara. Not much of a cook herself, Anna keeps a private chef on staff at both her New York residence and her estate on Long Island. Glorious. And when she's entertaining, “one of her favourite things to serve is a chicken pot pie.”
