Anna : La biografía

Based on hundreds of interviews with friends, collaborators, and close employees of Anna, Amy Odell unfolds an inspiring story of power and ambition in the world of fashion magazines, a world as fertile in glamour as it is in pettiness. As a child, Anna Wintour had no interest in clothes, but when she discovered miniskirts and bob haircuts in her teens, she became obsessed. Her father, an influential British journalist and a key figure in her life, predicted that she would end up as editor-in-chief of Vogue. She persevered until she achieved it. Family connections allowed the young Wintour to start as an editorial assistant and rise to editor-in-chief of British Vogue in 1985. She left the position three years later to take over the crown jewel, the American edition of Vogue, in a highly turbulent transition. Four decades later, thanks to her iconic style, her obsession with privacy, her social skills and her unstoppable rise within the Condé Nast business structure… the indomitable Anna Wintour is now a living legend of fashion, and of course she inspired the character of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.
