You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Wintour is praised for her skill in identifying emerging fashion trends, but has been criticised for her reportedly aloof and demanding personality. 

Her father, [[Charles Wintour]], who was Editor of the London-based ''[[Evening Standard]]'' from 1959 to 1976, consulted with her on how to make the newspaper relevant to the youth of the era. She became interested in fashion as a teenager and her career in [[fashion journalism]] began at two British magazines. Later, she moved to the United States, with stints at ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'' and ''[[House & Garden (magazine)|House & Garden]]''. She returned to London and was the Editor of [[Vogue (British magazine)|British ''Vogue'']] between 1985 and 1987. A year later, she assumed control of the franchise's magazine in New York, reviving what many saw as a stagnating publication. Her use of the magazine to shape the [[fashion industry]] has been the subject of debate within it. [[Animal rights]] activists have attacked her for promoting fur, while other critics have charged her with using the magazine to promote elitist and unattainable views of femininity and beauty.

A former personal assistant, [[Lauren Weisberger]], wrote the 2003 bestselling ''[[roman à clef]]'' ''[[The Devil Wears Prada (novel)|The Devil Wears Prada]]'', later made into a successful [[The Devil Wears Prada (film)|2006 film]] starring [[Meryl Streep]] as [[Miranda Priestly]], a fashion editor, believed to be based on Wintour. In 2009, Wintour's editorship of ''Vogue'' was the original focus of a documentary film, [[R. J. Cutler]]'s ''[[The September Issue]]''.  The film's focus switched to the creative teams and more senior fashion editors as filming progressed.<ref>((Cite web|date=1 October 2009|title='The September Issue' turns sharp focus to inner workings of Vogue|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/movies/the-september-issue-turns-sharp-focus-to-inner-workings-of-vogue/|access-date=18 May 2021|website=The Seattle Times|language=en-US|archive-date=11 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220511085707/https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/movies/the-september-issue-turns-sharp-focus-to-inner-workings-of-vogue/|url-status=live))</ref>

Wintour's grandfather was Major-General [[Fitzgerald Wintour]], a British military officer and descendant of Prime Minister [[George Grenville]].

She doesn't have time to shop anymore. She wants to know what and why and where and how."<ref name="Larson"/>

In 1987, Wintour returned to New York City to take over ''[[House & Garden (magazine)|House & Garden]].'' Its circulation had long lagged behind rival ''[[Architectural Digest]],''<ref name="Oppenheimer269">Oppenheimer, 269.</ref> and Condé Nast hoped she could improve it.

When the title was shortened to just ''HG'', many longtime subscribers thought they were getting a new magazine and put it aside for the real thing to arrive.<ref name="Oppenheimer269" /> Most of those subscriptions were eventually canceled and, while some fashion advertisers came over, most of the magazine's traditional advertisers pulled out.<ref name="Oppenheimer271">Oppenheimer, 271.</ref>

Ten months later, she became editor of U.S. ''Vogue''. Industry insiders worried that under Mirabella, the magazine was losing ground to the recently introduced American edition of ''[[Elle (magazine)|Elle]]''.<ref name="Larson" /><ref name="Slate" /> After making sweeping changes in staff, she changed the style of the cover pictures. Mirabella had preferred tight [[head shot]]s of well-known models in studios; Wintour's covers showed more of the body and were taken outside, like those [[Diana Vreeland]] had done years earlier.<ref name="Larson" /> She used less well-known models, and mixed inexpensive clothes with high fashion: the first issue she was in charge of, November 1988, featured a [[Peter Lindbergh]] photograph of 19-year-old [[Michaela Bercu]] in a $50 pair of faded jeans and a bejeweled T-shirt by [[Christian Lacroix]] worth $10,000. It was the first time a ''Vogue'' cover model had worn jeans;<ref name="Slate" /> when the printer saw it they called the magazine's offices, thinking it was the wrong image.<ref name="Hadid tribute">((Cite web|url=http://www.vogue.com/1019685/gigi-hadid-vogue-cover/|title=Gigi Hadid, Model of the Moment, Pays Tribute to Anna Wintour's First ''Vogue'' Cover|last=Thomas|first=Mark Guiducci, Sean|website=Vogue|date=26 August 2014|access-date=4 May 2016|archive-date=2 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160502011817/http://www.vogue.com/1019685/gigi-hadid-vogue-cover|url-status=live))</ref>

In 2012, Wintour reflected on the cover:((blockquote|It was so unlike the studied and elegant close-ups that were typical of Vogue's covers back then, with tons of makeup and major jewelry. This one broke all the rules. Michaela wasn't looking at you, and worse, she had her eyes almost closed. Her hair was blowing across her face. It looked easy, casual, a moment that had been snapped on the street, which it had been, and which was the whole point. Afterwards, in the way that these things can happen, people applied all sorts of interpretations: It was about mixing high and low, Michaela was pregnant, it was a religious statement. But none of these things was true. I had just looked at that picture and sensed the winds of change. And you can't ask for more from a cover image than that.<ref name="Wintour on Bercu cover">((cite web|last=Wintour|first=Anna|title=Honoring the 120th Anniversary: Anna Wintour Shares Her Vogue Story|url=http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/anna-wintour-on-her-first-vogue-cover-plus-a-slideshow-of-her-favorite-images-in-vogue/#1|work=[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]|date=14 August 2012|access-date=22 August 2013|archive-date=11 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140711185515/http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/anna-wintour-on-her-first-vogue-cover-plus-a-slideshow-of-her-favorite-images-in-vogue/#1|url-status=dead))</ref>))

Years later, Wintour admitted the photo had never been planned as the cover shot. In 2011, when ''Vogue'' put its entire archive online, Wintour was quoted as saying, "I just said, 'Well, let's just try this.' And off we went. It was just very natural.

"Wintour's approach hit a nerve—this was the way real women put clothes together (with the likely exception of wearing multi-thousand-dollar T-shirts)", one reviewer says.

She exerts a great deal of control over the magazine's visual content. Since her first days as editor, she has required that photographers not begin until she has approved [[Instant film|Polaroids]] of the setup and clothing. Afterwards, they must submit all their work to the magazine, not just their personal choices.<ref name="Oppenheimer244">Oppenheimer, p. 244.</ref>

===1990s===
Under her editorship, the magazine renewed its focus on fashion and returned to the prominence it had held under Vreeland. ''Vogue'' held its position as market leader against three contenders: ''Elle''; ''Harper's Bazaar'', which had lured away [[Liz Tilberis]], Wintour's most prominent deputy, and ''[[Mirabella]]'', a magazine [[Rupert Murdoch]] created for Wintour's fired predecessor. Her most serious competitor was within the company: [[Tina Brown]], editor of ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'' and later ''[[The New Yorker]]''.<ref name="Oppenheimer293-96">Oppenheimer, pp. 293–96.</ref>

At the end of the decade, another of Wintour's inner circle left to run ''Harper's Bazaar''. [[Kate Betts]], seen as Wintour's likely successor, had broadened the magazine's reach by commissioning stories with a more hard-news edge, about women in politics, street culture, and the financial difficulties of some major designers. She had also added the "Index" section, a few pages of tips meant to be torn out of the magazine. At staff meetings, she earned Wintour's respect as the only person who publicly challenged her.<ref name="Kevin Gray profile 2">Gray, pg. 2.</ref>

The two began to disagree about the magazine's direction. Betts felt ''Vogue''(('s)) fashion coverage was getting too limited. Wintour in turn thought that the stories with popular culture angles Betts was assigning were beneath readers, and began pairing Betts with [[Plum Sykes]], whom Betts reportedly detested as a "pretentious airhead". Eventually, she left, complaining to ''The New York Times'' that Wintour had not even sent her a baby gift. Wintour wrote an editor's letter that complimented Betts and wished her well.<ref name="Kevin Gray profile 3">Gray, pg. 3.</ref>

===2000s===
Betts was one of several longtime editors to leave ''Vogue'' around the new millennium. A year later, Sykes, another putative successor, left to concentrate on her best-selling novels set in the city's upper classes and a screenplay. A number of other editors also left to assume the top jobs at other publications. While some of their replacements did not last, a new group of core editors formed.<ref name="NY Observer Plum Sykes story">((cite news|last=Snyder|first=Gabriel|title=Bright Young Thing, Plum Sykes, Abandons Vogue, Sort Of|url=http://www.observer.com/node/43767|work=The New York Observer|date=17 December 2000|access-date=11 June 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100513182359/http://www.observer.com/node/43767| archive-date= 13 May 2010|url-status=dead))</ref>

Priestly has some positive qualities. Andrea Sachs, the novel's main character, notes that she makes all the magazine's key editorial decisions by herself<ref name=Weisberger208>Weisberger, 208. "Miranda was as far as I could tell, a truly fantastic editor. Not a single word of copy made it into the magazine without her explicit, hard-to-obtain approval ... Although the various fashion editors called in the clothes they wanted to shoot, Miranda alone selected the looks she wanted and which models she wanted wearing each one ... [T]hat made her, in my mind, the main reason for the magazine's stunning success each month.

===Film adaptation===
((Further|The Devil Wears Prada (film)))
During the production of ''[[The Devil Wears Prada (film)|The Devil Wears Prada]]'' in 2005, Wintour was reportedly threatening prominent fashion personalities, particularly designers, that ''Vogue'' would not cover them if they made cameo appearances in the movie as themselves.<ref name="Radar">((cite web|url=https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/01/the-devil-you-know-on-line-one-php/|title=The Devil You Know, On Line One|date=30 January 2008|website=[[Radar Online]]|orig-year=November 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140703030434/https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/01/the-devil-you-know-on-line-one-php/|archive-date=3 July 2014|url-status=live|access-date=25 June 2010))</ref> She denied it through a spokesperson who said she was interested in anything that "supports fashion". Many designers are mentioned in the film. Only one, [[Valentino (designer)|Valentino Garavani]], appeared as himself.<ref name="Radar" />

The film was released, in mid-2006, to great commercial success.<ref name="boxofficemojo">[https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=devilwearsprada.htm The Devil Wears Prada] ((Webarchive|url=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20110223131033/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=devilwearsprada.htm |date=23 February 2011 )) at boxofficemojo.com.

Wintour reportedly said the film would probably go straight to DVD.<ref name="Amiel"/> It made over $300&nbsp;million in worldwide box office receipts. Later in 2006, in an interview with [[Barbara Walters]] that aired the day of the DVD's release, Wintour said she found the film "really entertaining" and praised it for making fashion "entertaining and glamorous and interesting ... I was 100 percent behind it."<ref name="Barbara Walters">((cite news|last=Walter|first=Barbara|title=Anna Wintour: Always in Vogue|url=https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=2716887&page=3|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061213224316/https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=2716887&page=3|url-status=dead|archive-date=13 December 2006|work=ABC News|date=12 December 2006|access-date=18 December 2006))</ref>

That opinion of the movie has not yet led her to forgive Weisberger.<ref name="Oppenheimer328">Oppenheimer, 328.</ref> When it was reported that the novelist's editor told her to start her third novel over, Wintour's spokesman suggested she "should get a job as someone else's assistant."<ref name="Lloyd Grove">((cite news|last=Grove |first=Lloyd |author-link=Lloyd Grove |title=Author Goes From 'Prada' To Nada |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/gossip/2006/05/02/2006-05-02_author_goes_from__prada__to_.html |newspaper=Daily News|location=New York |date=2 May 2006 |access-date=24 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090614065406/http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/gossip/2006/05/02/2006-05-02_author_goes_from__prada__to_.html |archive-date=14 June 2009 ))</ref>

Oppenheimer suggests ''The Devil Wears Prada'' may have done Wintour a favour by increasing her name recognition. "Besides giving Weisberger her [[15 minutes of fame|fifteen minutes]]", he says, "[it] ... place[d] Anna squarely in the mainstream celebrity pantheon. [She] was now known and talked about over Big Macs and french fries under the Golden Arches by young [[fashion victim|fashionistas]] in Wal-Mart denim in [[Davenport, Iowa|Davenport]] and [[Dubuque, Iowa|Dubuque]]."<ref name="Oppenheimer328" />

When ''The September Issue'' was released three years later, critics compared it with the earlier, fictional film. "For the past year or so, she's been on the media warpath to win back her image", said Paul Schrodt in ''[[Slant Magazine]]''.<ref name="Slant review">((cite web|last=Schrodt|first=Paul|title=The September Issue|website=[[Slant Magazine]]|url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/film_review.asp?ID=4472|date=27 August 2009|access-date=7 September 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090829062322/http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/film_review.asp?ID=4472|archive-date=29 August 2009))</ref> Many considered the question of how similar she was to Streep's Priestly, and praised the film for showing the real person.

The film version of the Weisberger novel (screenplay penned by Aline Brosh McKenna) has not been the only movie to have a character borrowing some aspects of Wintour.

==Criticism==
In 2005, two years after ''The Devil Wears Prada'', Oppenheimer's ''Front Row: The Cool Life and Hot Times of Vogue's Editor in Chief'' was published. It painted a similar portrait of the real woman. According to Oppenheimer, Wintour not only declined his requests for an interview but discouraged others from talking to him.<ref name="Oppenheimerxi">Oppenheimer, ''xi''</ref>

===Personality===
Wintour is often described as emotionally distant by those who have come to know her well, even her close friends. "At some stage in her career, Anna Wintour stopped being Anna Wintour and became 'Anna Wintour,' at which point, like wings of a stately home, she closed off large sections of her personality to the public", wrote ''[[The Guardian]]''.<ref name="What lies beneath" /> "I think she enjoys not being completely approachable. Just her office is very intimidating. You have to walk about a mile into the office before you get to her desk and I'm sure it's intentional", Coddington says.<ref name="60 Minutes 2" /> "I don't find her to be accessible to people she doesn't need to be accessible to", agrees ''Vogue'' publisher Tom Florio.<ref name="TSI 11:55">''The September Issue'', 0:11.</ref>

She has said she admired her father Charles, known as "Chilly Charlie"<ref name="Kevin Gray profile 3" /><ref name="60 Minutes 3" /> for being "inscrutable".<ref name="Oppenheimer243" /> Former coworkers told Oppenheimer of a similar aloofness on her part. But she is also known for volatile outbursts of displeasure, and the widely used "Nuclear Wintour" sobriquet is a result of both.

"I think she has been very rude to a lot of people in the past, on her way up – very terse", a friend told ''The Observer''. "She doesn't do small talk. She is never going to be friends with her assistant."<ref name="Acid Queen" /> Junior staff at ''Vogue'' are said to understand, through unwritten rules, that they should not initiate interactions with her; it has been said that they are discouraged from riding an elevator with her, and if they do, should not speak to her, though Wintour has called this an exaggeration.<ref name="60 Minutes 2" /><ref name="Stummer">Stummer, Robin; 18 June 2006; "[https://web.archive.org/web/20081224022430/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/nuclear-wintour-the-movie-404514.html Nuclear Wintour: The Movie]"; ''The Independent on Sunday''.

They had failed to pay the $140,000 judgement against them by a former employee of theirs (not the magazine) injured on the job, who did not have the necessary insurance coverage.<ref name="TSG">Bastone, William; 18 May 2004; [http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0518043anna1.html Wintour In $140,000 Worker's Comp Default] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061230235852/http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0518043anna1.html |date=30 December 2006 )); ''The Smoking Gun''.

In the 2000s, her relationship with Bryan was credited with softening her personality at work. "Even when she's in a bad mood, she has a different posture [...] is that she's so much more mellow and easier to work for", someone described as a "Wintour watcher" told ''[[The New York Observer]]'' in 2000.<ref name="NY Observer Plum Sykes story" />

===Pro-fur stance===
She has often been the target of [[animal rights]] organisations like [[PETA]], who are angered by her use of fur in ''Vogue'', her pro-fur editorials and her refusal to run paid advertisements from animal rights organisations. Undeterred, she continues to use fur in photo spreads, saying there is always a way to wear it.<ref name="TSI 5:33">''The September Issue'', 0:05.</ref> "Nobody was wearing fur until she put it on the cover in the early 1990s", says ''Vogue'' co-worker Tom Florio.

Others outside of the animal rights community have raised the fur issue.

===Elitism===
Another common criticism of Wintour's editorship focuses on ''Vogue''(('s)) increasing use of celebrities on the cover, and her insistence on making them meet her standards.<ref name="Slate" /><ref name="Acid Queen" /><ref name="Celebrities on cover">Derrick, Robin; 6 November 2006; [https://web.archive.org/web/20090619222544/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/in-vogue--for-90-years-423221.html In 'Vogue' for 90 Years]; ''The Independent''.

Likewise, [[Hillary Clinton]] was told not to wear a blue suit.<ref name="Slate" /> At the 2005 Anglomania celebration, a ''Vogue''-sponsored salute to British fashion at the Met, Wintour is said to have personally chosen the clothes for prominent attendees such as [[Jennifer Lopez]], [[Kate Moss]], [[Donald Trump]], and [[Diane von Fürstenberg]].<ref name="Acid Queen" /> "I don't think [[Diana Vreeland|Vreeland]] had that kind of concentration", says ''Women's Wear Daily'' publisher Patrick McCarthy. "She wouldn't have dressed [[Babe Paley]]. Nor would Babe Paley have let her." By persuading designers to lend clothes to prominent socialites and celebrities, who are then photographed wearing the clothes not only in ''Vogue'' but more general-interest magazines like ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' and ''[[Us (magazine)|Us]]'', which in turn influence what buyers want, some in the industry believe Wintour is exerting too much control over it, especially since she is not involved in making or producing clothes herself. "The end result is that Anna can control it all the way to the selling floor", says Candy Pratts Price, executive fashion director at [[style.com]].<ref name="Citizen Anna 22"/> She has been credited with killing [[Grunge#Clothing and fashion|grunge fashion]] in the early 1990s, when it was not selling well, by telling designers if they continued to avoid glamour their looks would not be photographed for ''Vogue''.

[[File:Anna Wintour 2.jpg|thumb|upright|Wintour (photographed by Ed Kavishe of Fashion Wire Press<!-- inline credit is required under the release for this image -->) often insists on being seated apart from other fashion editors at shows.|alt=A seated woman wearing a white dress, holding a coffee cup and sunglasses, looking at the camera. The surrounding seats are empty.]]
Another ''Vogue'' writer has complained Wintour excluded ordinary working women, many of whom are regular subscribers, from the pages. "She's obsessed only about reflecting the aspirations of a certain class of reader", she says. "We once had a piece about breast cancer which started with an [[flight attendant|airline stewardess]], but she wouldn't have a stewardess in the magazine so we had to go and look for a high-flying businesswoman who'd had cancer."<ref name="Slate" />

Wintour has been accused of setting herself apart even from peers. "I do not think fiction could surpass the reality", a British fashion magazine editor says of ''The Devil Wears Prada''. "[A]rt in this instance is only a poor imitation of life." Wintour, the editor says, routinely requests to be seated out of sight of competing editors at shows. "We spend our working lives telling people which it-bag to carry but Anna is so above the rest of us she does not even have a handbag."<ref name="Acid Queen" />

At [[Milan Fashion Week]] in 2008, she requested that some key shows be rescheduled for earlier in the week so she and other U.S.-based editors could have time to return home before the Paris shows. This led to complaints. Other editors said they had to rush through the earlier shows, and lesser-known designers who had to show later were denied an important audience. [[Dolce & Gabbana]] said Italian fashion was getting short shrift and Milan was becoming a "circus without sense".<ref name="Italian fashion complaints">Moore, Malcolm; 22 February 2008; "[https://web.archive.org/web/20100528014419/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/labels/dolcegabbana/3364542/Dolce-and-Gabbana-slams-Milan-Fashion-Week.html Dolce & Gabbana slams Milan Fashion Week]"; ''The Daily Telegraph''.

[[Giorgio Armani]], who at the time was co-chairing a Met exhibition on superheroes' costumes with Wintour, drew some attention for his personal remarks. "Maybe what she thinks is a beautiful dress, I wouldn't think was a beautiful dress", he said. While he claimed he could not understand why people disliked her, saying he himself was indifferent, he expressed hope she had not made a comment once attributed to her that "the Armani era is over". He accused her of preferring [[French fashion|French]] and American fashion over Italian.<ref name="Armani comments">Peck, Sally; 21 February 2008; "[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1579440/Giorgio-Armani-attacks-Vogues-Anna-Wintour.html Giorgio Armani attacks Vogue's Anna Wintour] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229025036/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1579440/Giorgio-Armani-attacks-Vogues-Anna-Wintour.html |date=29 December 2016 ))"; ''The Daily Telegraph''.

Her remarks about [[obesity]] have caused controversy on more than one occasion. In 2005, Wintour was heavily criticised by the New York chapter of the [[National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance]] after ''Vogue'' editor-at-large [[André Leon Talley]] said on ''[[The Oprah Winfrey Show]]'', at one point, Wintour demanded he lose weight. "Most of the ''Vogue'' girls are so thin, tremendously thin", he said, "because Miss Anna don't like fat people."<ref>''Pittsburgh Tribune-Review''; 19 September 2005; "[http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_375745.html Vogue fat comment raises group's ire] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114152307/http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_375745.html |date=14 November 2007 ))"; United Press International.

Wintour surprised observers when developing an association with the Kardashian family and [[Kanye West]], which culminated in having the Kardashian-Wests on a ''Vogue cover''; Wintour reportedly commented that having only "deeply tasteful" people in the magazine was "boring", and her decision to resort to such personalities has led some to accuse the magazine of being "desperate for buzz".<ref>((cite magazine|url=http://time.com/3595368/anna-wintour-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-vogue-cover/|title=Anna Wintour Implies That Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Not 'Deeply Tasteful'|first=Nolan|last=Feeney|magazine=Time|access-date=15 November 2015|archive-date=2 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151202010243/http://time.com/3595368/anna-wintour-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-vogue-cover/|url-status=live))</ref> Wintour has nevertheless continued the association with the pair.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.vogue.com/13363097/anna-wintour-kanye-kim-kardashian-west-cfda-vogue-fashion-fund-la-dinner-2015/|title=Anna Wintour, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian West Host an Intimate Celebratory Soiree for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in Los Angeles|date=21 October 2015|access-date=15 November 2015|archive-date=17 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117022414/http://www.vogue.com/13363097/anna-wintour-kanye-kim-kardashian-west-cfda-vogue-fashion-fund-la-dinner-2015/|url-status=live))</ref>

===Responses===
Defences of Wintour have often come from others. Amanda Fortini at ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' said she was comfortable with Wintour's elitism since that was intrinsic to fashion:
((blockquote|Most of us read ''Vogue'' not with the intention of buying the wildly expensive clothes, but because doing so educates our eye and hones our taste, similar to the way eating gourmet food refines the palate. This is a pleasure enabled by Wintour's ruthless aesthetic, her refusal to participate in the democratizing tendency of most of her competitors. To deny her that privilege is to deny her readers the privilege of fantasy in the form of beautifully photographed Paris couture.<ref name="Slate" />))
[[Emma Brockes]] sees this in Wintour herself: "[Her] unwavering ability to look as if she lives within the pages of her magazine has a sort of honesty to it, proof that, whatever one thinks about it, the lifestyle peddled by Vogue is at least physically possible."<ref name="What lies beneath"/>

"Print publications have to be as luxurious an experience as possible", Wintour explained in 2015. "You have to feel it coming off the page. You have to see photographs and pieces that you couldn't possibly see anywhere else."<ref name="2015 New York interview" />

Some friends see her purported coldness as just traditional British reserve,<ref name="Amiel Maclean's" /> or shyness.<ref name="Kevin Gray profile 2" /> Brockes says it may be mutual, "partly a reflection of how awkward people are with her, particularly women, who get preemptively chippy when faced with the prospect of meeting Fashion Incarnate."<ref name="What lies beneath">Brockes, Emma; 27 May 2006; "[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/may/27/pressandpublishing.fashion What lies beneath] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221125403/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/may/27/pressandpublishing.fashion |date=21 December 2016 ))"; ''The Guardian''. Retrieved 23 March 2007.</ref> When [[Morley Safer]] asked her about complaints about her personality, she said,
((blockquote|I have so many people here, Morley, that have worked with me for 15, 20 years, and, you know, if I'm such a bitch, they must really be a glutton for punishment because they're still here. If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque, it's simply because I'm striving for the best.<ref name="60 Minutes 2" />))
She has made similar statements in defence of her reported refusal to hire fat people. "It's important to me that the people that are working here, particularly in the fashion department", she says, "will present themselves in a way that makes sense to the outside world that they work at ''Vogue''."<ref name="Kevin Gray profile 2" />

Her defenders have called criticism [[sexism|sexist]]. "Powerful women in the media always get inspected more thoroughly than their male counterparts", said ''[[The New York Times]]'' in a piece about Wintour shortly after ''The Devil Wears Prada''(('s)) release.<ref name="Times Wintour film piece">Carr, David; 10 July 2006; "[http://plainsfeminist.blogspot.com/2006/07/devil-you-say.html The Devil Wears Teflon] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061030163911/http://plainsfeminist.blogspot.com/2006/07/devil-you-say.html |date=30 October 2006 ))"; ''The New York Times'', retrieved from plainsfeminist.blogspot.com 10 December 2006.</ref> When Wintour took over at ''Vogue'', gossip columnist [[Liz Smith (journalist)|Liz Smith]] reported rumours she had gotten the job through an affair with [[Samuel Irving Newhouse, Jr.|Si Newhouse]]. A reportedly furious Wintour made her anger the subject of one of her first staff meetings;<ref name="Larson" /> she still complained about the allegation when accepting a media award in 2002.<ref name="Oppenheimer286">Oppenheimer, 286.</ref>

She has been called a feminist whose changes to ''Vogue'' have reflected, acknowledged, and reinforced advances in the status of women. Reviewing Oppenheimer's book in the ''[[Washington Monthly]]'', managing editor Christina Larson notes that ''Vogue'', unlike many other women's magazines,((blockquote|...doesn't play to its readership's sense of inadequacy ... Instead, it reminds women to take satisfaction, parading all manner of fineries (clothes, furniture, travel destinations) that a successful woman might buy, or at least admire. While it surely exists to sell ads ... it does so primarily by exploiting ambition, not insecurity.<ref name="Larson" />))
Wintour, unlike Vreeland, "...shifted ''Vogue''(('))s focus from the cult of beauty to the cult of the creation of beauty."<ref name="Larson" /> To Wintour, the focus on celebrities is a welcome development as it means women are making the cover of ''Vogue'' at least in part for what they have accomplished, not just how they look.<ref name="Larson" />

Complaints about her role as fashion ''[[éminence grise]]'' are dismissed by those familiar with how she actually exercises it. "She's honest. She tells you what she thinks. Yes is yes and no is no", according to designer [[Karl Lagerfeld]]. "She's not too pushy", agrees [[François-Henri Pinault]], chief executive officer of [[Kering]], [[Gucci]]'s parent company. "She lets you know it's not a problem if you can't do something she wants." Defenders also point out she continued supporting Gucci despite her strong belief Kering should not have let [[Tom Ford]] go. Designers such as [[Alice Roi]] and [[Isabel Toledo]] have flourished without indulging Wintour or ''Vogue''.<ref name="Citizen Anna 22"/> Her willingness to throw her weight around has helped keep ''Vogue'' independent despite its heavy reliance on advertising dollars. Wintour was the only fashion editor who refused to follow an [[Giorgio Armani S.p.A.|Armani]] ultimatum to feature more of its clothes in the magazine's editorial pages,<ref name="Acid Queen" /> although she has also admitted if she has to choose between two dresses, one by an advertiser and the other not, she will choose the former every time. "Commercial is not a dirty word to me."<ref name="Kevin Gray profile 4" />

Wintour herself, when asked about it, dismisses the notion that she has all the power attributed to her. "I don't think of myself as a powerful person", she told ''[[Forbes]]'' in 2011, when it named her 69th on its list of the world's hundred most powerful women. "You know, what does it mean? It means you get a better seat in a restaurant or tickets to a screening or whatever it may be. But it is a wonderful opportunity to be able to help others, and for that I'm extremely grateful."<ref name="Forbes power interview">((cite news|last=Goudreau|first=Jenna|title=Vogue's Anna Wintour: Intimidating, No. Powerful, Yes.|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jennagoudreau/2011/08/24/vogue-anna-wintour-intimidating-powerful-forbes-power-women-fashion/|newspaper=Forbes|date=24 August 2011|access-date=22 December 2011|archive-date=27 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111227192922/http://www.forbes.com/sites/jennagoudreau/2011/08/24/vogue-anna-wintour-intimidating-powerful-forbes-power-women-fashion/|url-status=live))</ref>

In response to criticisms like Beene's, she has defended the democratisation of what were once exclusive luxury brands. "It means more people are going to get better fashion", she told [[Dana Thomas]]. "And the more people who can have fashion, the better."<ref name="Dana Thomas book">((cite book |title=Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster |last=Thomas |first=Dana |year=2007 |publisher=Penguin Press |isbn=978-1-59420-129-5 |page=[https://archive.org/details/deluxehowluxuryl00thom/page/322 322] |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/deluxehowluxuryl00thom/page/322 ))</ref>
