Anna: The Biography

informative medium-paced

If you are interested in fashion and Anna Wintour, it is a fascinating insight into how an industry standard is propped up and placed in positions to succeed. 

It is also obvious that Anna greenlit interviews and sources for the book to give her image a fighting chance against her negative press. 

Anna Wintour understood how to sell magazines in an era of hyperconsumption. She also understood branding for the height of her era - 80s and 90s. It will be interesting to see how it translates in the coming years.

I don’t know if this book made me hate her or like her. Or just made me realize she’s human too.
