Anna Wintour: Vogue [Outliers]

Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Anna Wintour once looked at photos from a three hundred thousand dollar fashion. And killed the entire story. Without explanation. The photographer was Steven Meisel, now one of fashion's legends. He was so furious, he refused to work with her for years.

Today He credits her with making him better. This is the Anna Winter Paradox. She's fired assistants for poorer clothing choices. She's made editors stand during meetings because sitting wastes time. When asked what job she wanted once, she replied Yours.

And the meeting ended abruptly. She got the job anyway. For forty years people have been predicting her downfall. She's too harsh. Too demanding.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
