Since 1988 when Anna Wintour began her reign as editor of the prestigious magazine, American Vogue, she has continuously proven herself to be ever powerful in the fashion industry. With this power has come many positive and negative stipulations. She influences virtually every aspect of the fashion world by using her magazine’s eminence as incentive to anyone willing to do things her way. Adhering to Wintour’s wishes usually leads to a spot in Vogue: every designer’s dream. She is persistent in getting what she wants and therefore is often seen as pushy, and pushy is just the tip of the iceberg. Anna has also been characterized as emotionless and heartless. Her reputation precedes her so much so that there have been films and novels made to portray her callousness. The Devil Wears Prada, released in 2006, is the most well known of the films made mocking her demeanor. This film, along with the other movies depicting Wintour, show an exaggerated version of her insensitivity, but they do not over exaggerate her role as a confident businesswoman and leader of fashion. She has truly left her mark on the world and her influence as well as the influence of Vogue will continue to affect lives for years to come.
