As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced bythe miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessedteenager.

Undeterred, she found work inthe competitive world of magazines, eventually moving to New York. Before long, Anna'sjourney to Vogue became a battle to ascend, no matter who or what stood in her way. Onceshe was crowned editor in chief - in one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine history- she continued the fight to retain her enviable position, ultimately rising to dominate all ofCond Nast.
