On June 26th, after 37 years, Anna Wintour announced she is stepping down as editor-in-chief of Vogue.

The British-American fashion icon began her career as an editorial assistant at London’s Harpers & Queen magazine. She worked her way up, landing editorial roles at Harper’s Bazaar and Viva in the 70’s.

 As editor of Vogue, she has held the role for longer than any of her predecessors.

Wintour transformed Vogue into a powerhouse among fashion magazines.

She was the first editor to mix affordable fashion with designer clothes in photoshoots.

Wintour took over the Met Gala in 1995, transforming it from a local fundraiser into a highly anticipated, fashion event.

“Florals?? For Spring?? Groundbreaking…”

Yes, Wintour was the inspiration for Miranda Priestly from  The Devil Wears Prada.

Here are some of my favorite Wintour fashion moments.

I adore her early looks!

Three things have remained consistent through the years. The Bob, sunglasses in the front row, and style!

So does this mean she’s given up fashion forever??

No way. She will remain as the magazine’s global editorial director as well as the company’s chief content officer.
