As Anna Wintour steps down from Vogue, this documentary reveals what life was like under her editorship
One of the most recognisable and influential figures in global fashion, Dame Anna Wintour, has announced she's stepping down from her editorship of American Vogue. The 75-year-old is the longest-serving editor at the world's magazine, having been at the helm for 37 years. Her signature power bob, sharp fringe and black sunglasses have been a staple of the front row for every major fashion show since 1985 when she became the editor of British Vogue. Hopping across the pond to Conde Nast's US headquarters in 1988, Wintour evolved American Vogue from a niche fashion magazine to a pop culture goliath. In her first year as editor, she put Madonna and Naomi Campbell on the cover, announcing the publication's pivot to celebrity. One of her biggest accomplishments was turning the once-modest Met Gala into one of the year's biggest celebrity-driven occasions. Known for its provocative themes and high-fashion moments, Wintour has organised and presided over the Met Gala since 1995. Wintour's legacy is arguably entwined with American Vogue, so it's perhaps no surprise that she isn't entirely taking a backseat. Continuing as Vogue' s global editorial director, as well as chief content officer for Conde Nast, her influence will likely continue. If you're looking to delve deeper into Wintour's editorship at Vogue and her impact on the cultural landscape, last year's acclaimed documentary In Vogue: The 90s is a must-watch. Here's everything you need to know. The six-episode series is a who's who of the fashion world. As well as Wintour, the exhaustive list of participants includes Naomi Campbell, Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Elizabeth Hurley, Tom Ford and Gwyneth Paltrow. The documentary explores how American Vogue had little crossover between fashion and pop culture before Wintour's tenure. Taking us behind the scenes of the controversial cover featuring Madonna, it also reveals how American Vogue forecasted the era's supermodel It-girls, with the iconic 1990 cover featuring Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford. The series takes us through this transformative decade in fashion. It covers everything from Kate Moss's Calvin Klein era and the hysteria around 'heroin chic' Liz Hurley's safety pin Versace dress at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Gwyneth Paltrow's bubblegum pink dress at the Oscars in 1999. Just as much about Vogue and the era as it is about Wintour, it's essential viewing for fashion fans and those curious about the former American Vogue 's lasting impact.

Anna Wintour to exit Vogue-what's next for the fashion powerhouse?
Fashion connoisseur and aficionado Anna Wintour has announced that she will be stepping down as editor-in-chief of American Vogue. Wintour has been at the helm of the esteemed publication for 37 years. Wintour's tenure is synonymous with excellence. Vogue US has become a bastion for high fashion, and the vaunted publication has been a pivotal force in displaying the works of some of the world's best. The cultural impact and significance of Vogue are hard to overlook. The pride of Hampstead, London, is famed for pushing the envelope. Her emphasis on showcasing political figures and the now infamous and daring move to feature denim on the cover of a couture magazine have endeared her to her fans and lovers of fashion. These choices and others also saw to it that the Vogue was at the epicentre of the zeitgeist in the realm of fashion. The Met Gala could also be considered one of the best brand extensions of all time by any publication, anywhere. The event has become a fixture on the fashion calendar. It is also arguably one of the more momentous events centred around style. Her legendary run began in 1988. Wintour's vision for the brand saw her propel it to new heights. Vogue became a global brand and an iron-clad authority on fashion. The 75-year-old revealed her intentions to step down at an editorial meeting on Thursday. She explained to her team that she was now ready for the next phase of her career, which is to raise new talent. She said: 'My greatest pleasure now is helping the next generation of impassioned editors storm the field with their own ideas.' Wintour has been a tour de force in the fashion industry. Naturally her departure will be gradual in some respects. She will no longer be involved in the daily operations of the business but will stay on as Vogue's international editorial director. A successor has yet to be announced, and Wintour has left some stylish and yet rather big shoes to fill. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 11.
