Why is Anna Wintour so powerful? With Am...

Glam Observer - Giada Graziano
About this episode

We all know Anna Wintour as the iconic editor-in-chief of Vogue. You might recognize her for the bob cut, her black glasses and her floral dresses.

But she's not only a strong leader with an extraordinary work ethic, and she's neither so cold in reality.

I've been fascinated by Anna Wintour for a long time and if you have read my book Your Fashion Dream Plan you know that there is an illustration as well as a chapter with her name. So I was very excited to sit down with Amy Odell who has just published her book Anna the biography. 

Amy has built up Anna Wintour's story by interviewing more than 250 people over the past 3 years. 

In this podcast episode we chatted about Anna Wintour: 

  • why she is so powerful in fashion 
  • why do people beyond fashion ask for her opinion (including Serena Williams and Bradley Cooper when he had to cast for A star is born). 
  • if there is Vogue without Anna Wintour
  • who could replace her 
  • and if the next editor in chief will be as influential as Anna
