Anna Wintour – Influential Magazine Editor
Published November 22, 2011 | 
Through her 30+career in magazine publishing, Wintour has developed a reputation for being distant and cold. It has been said that she a demanding boss and is difficult to work for, an opinion Wintour doesn’t exactly deny. In 2003, Lauren Weisberger, one of Anna Wintour’s former assistants published the book The Devil Wears Prada, based on her experience working at Vogue magazine. The book was made into a movie in 2006 and Anna Wintour made celebrity magazine and fashion magazine headlines when she showed up to the premiere wearing Prada.
In August 2009, Anna Wintour along with the creation of the September 2007 issue of Vogue magazine were the subjects of the documentary, “The September Issue.” The documentary shows, for the first time, the demanding work required to produce an issue of Vogue magazine.
Forbes magazine recently reported that though the documentary is touted as “the real Devil Wears Prada,” that “Wintour mostly is portrayed as a professional and a perfectionist with a well-defined vision and an inferiority complex that becomes apparent when she admiringly talks about her three siblings who consider her profession “amusing”; Wintour’s sister, for example, lobbies for farmers’ rights in Latin America.”
Anna Wintour was born in 1949, in London, England, to newspaper editor Charles Wintour and his wife, philanthropist Elinor Wintour. As a teenager, Wintour dropped out of school and instead pursued a life that revolved around the chic London life of the 1960s, frequenting the same London clubs of pop culture’s biggest celebrities and musicians like The Beatles and Rolling Stones.
Before Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour started out in the fashion department of Harper’s & Queen in London. Over the years, she climbed the editorial ladder and bounced from magazine to magazine between New York and London. In 1976, she moved to New York and took over as fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar magazine. With a stop at Viva magazine after Harper’s Bazaar in between, Anna Wintour took a job with New York magazine in 1981. From the start, Wintour was driven and had her own sense of style and direction. In 1986, she returned to London as top editor of publisher Cond
Graffiti Fashion is in Vogue Now
Published November 3, 2011 |
As the heart of urban art, graffiti is is most commonly seen on the sides of buildings, city sidewalks and bathroom walls. I have never thought that it has relationship with fashion. While actually, graffiti is moving off the walls and onto fashion industry now. More and more designers are using this boundless combination of images and lettering to decorate their lines. I guess that the graffiti fashion will become greater in future time. If fashion is a form of art anyways, why not wear it?
It is true that we could give up elegance or nobleless, but nobody would abandon individual style. Graffiti fashion is just a kind of manner to our lives.
We once remember that in 2001, the design director Marc Jacobs of Louis Vuitton took great pains to convince its managers receiving his idea of innovating classic monogram pattern. At the very beginning, almost everybody considered that his Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Bags are specially for fashion show. As long as they saw the long order lists, they finally approved to put the collection on stream. From being doubted to hot sale, then to be as the most precious luxury, the great creation really made a great success in fashion industry and created the precedent of perfect combination between luxury and steet art.
From then on, the rough graffiti art held hands with cocky luxury brands and it never stopped its steps. Now the time comes to Spring 2009. Now, Marc Jacobs is paying another tribute in his Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse 2009 collection. For Spring 2009, the colors of the Graffiti print against the classic Monogram Canvas background are all neon (lime green, shocking pink and bright orange) and there is also Rose-tattoo collection inspired by Sprouse’s past work. The collection also expands beyond bags and shoes to include scarves, jewelries, shades, small leather goods and ready-to-wear.
Graffiti fashion with vivid energy and passion is now go into our daily life. Why are you still waiting? Come together, doodle our own fashion now!
