Seller Description
SHE'S AMBITIOUS, DRIVEN, INSECURE needy, and a perfectionist and she's con- sidered the most powerful force in the more than $100 billion fashion industry. She's Anna Wintour, editor in chief of Vogue, the world's fashion bible. With her signature Louise Brooks bob, trademark sun- glasses, Manolo Blahnik stilettos, Chanel suits, and glamorous furs, she's a sexy international diva, gossiped about from New York to Milan, from Paris to Tokyo. As famed designer Oscar de la Renta declares, "She is a star." How did Wintour, who quit school over disputes regarding her miniskirt's length, and who had no real writing or communica- tions skills, rise to the pinnacle of the fashion magazine world? Based on scores of interviews with pres ent and former friends and colleagues, Front Row is the scrupulously researched. often shocking story of the cool life and hot times of this enigmatic icon-a candid portrait of a fashion-obsessed teenager in Swinging Sixties London who claws her way up the ivory tower in New York, always art- fully crafting and reinventing herself. Front Row also is an intimate examination of Wintour's personal passions and needs, her loves lost and won, and her feuds and achievements. Anna Wintour's story is an inside look at one of the world's most influ ential women as well as at the catty, competitive, bitch-cat-bitch world of fashion. Meow
