À propos de cet audio

 This definitive New York Times bestselling biography of Anna Wintour, now featuring a new afterword, follows the steep climb of an ambitious young woman who would—with singular and legendary focus—become one of the most powerful people in media.

As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, an influential newspaper editor, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor-in-chief of Vogue, she never looked back.

Impatient to start her career, she left high school and got a job at a trendy boutique in London—an experience that would be the first of many defeats. Undeterred, she found work in the competitive world of magazines, eventually embarking on a journey to New York and a battle to ascend, no matter who or what stood in her way. Once she was crowned editor-in-chief of Vogue—in one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine history—she continued the fight to retain her enviable position, ultimately rising to dominate all of Condé Nast.

Named one of Time’s 100 Must-Read Books of 2022, this in-depth and revealing biography is based on extensive interviews with Anna Wintour’s closest friends and collaborators. Weaving Anna’s personal story into a larger narrative about the hierarchical dynamics of the fashion industry and the complex world of Condé Nast, Anna charts the relentless ambition of the woman who would become an icon.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Church’s expert performance captures the frenetic pace of the fashion world through Anna’s spicy exploits on her way to the top of the haute couture world as editor-in-chief of VOGUE magazine. Anna had two sides: her ambitious, driven side and her devoted, maternal side. Church delivers both sides of Anna with equal passion and delight in this delicious and masterful presentation."

It was a treat to listen to this book. Full of well researched materials and references. I love it because it is not all bright and shining events of Anna’s life. It painted great picture of her private moments. The narrator also did a great job to tell the stories.

Great story telling

The reasarch that went into this biography is impressive. Only constructive feedback is that the narrator imitated Anna too softly and was challenging to pick up in my car's stereo system.

Great timeline
