The job was editor-in-chief. The goal was to become the platform. And she did.  Once she made it to the top, she didn't just edit Vogue. She reinvented the power structures beneath it. This episode unpacks how a British girl who couldn't type built the most bulletproof career in media, survived five decades of disruption, and made herself indispensable to fashion, politics, and culture.   You'll hear how she weaponized speed over perfection, fired half the Vogue staff in three days, and turned a porn-funded job into a fashion laboratory. Why she said “Your job” when asked what she wanted. Why she put Madonna on the cover at the peak of a scandal. Why standards—not popularity—are her real moat. It's not about fashion. It's about building systems no one can take from you.   Most people aim for realistic. Anna Wintour named her destination—Editor of Vogue—at sixteen, then built a ladder no one else could climb.  This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Amy Odell's Anna: The Biography.

T Lo dive into a couple of recent stories illustrating the hold Marily Monroe still has on the culture and then they dive deep on the life and career of Vogue editor Anna Wintour in an interview with Amy Odell, author of ANNA: THE BIOGRAPHY. 

[REBROADCAST FROM June 7, 2022] For the latest installment of our ongoing Full Bio series, we speak with Amy Odell, author of a new biography about Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, called, Anna: The Biography. On day two, we discuss Anna Wintour's entry into the magazine business, early successes and failures, and her path to New York.  NOTE: This segment originally aired on June 7, and has been edited. The aired version stated that Anna Wintour became Vogue's editor-in-chief in 1998. The correct year was 1988.

[REBROADCAST FROM June 6, 2022] For the latest installment of our ongoing Full Bio series, we speak with Amy Odell, author of a new biography about Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, called, Anna: The Biography. On day one, we discuss Anna Wintour's early life growing up in England as the daughter of a well-known newspaperman. NOTE: This segment originally aired on June 6, and has been edited. The originally aired version stated that Anna Wintour became Vogue's editor-in-chief in 1998. The correct year was 1988.

Amy Odell always knew she wanted to work in journalism. As a fashion and culture reporter, she has left her mark on countless publications, most notably New York Magazine's The Cut. But she got called to interview for a role at Vogue magazine during her time there. After an unsuccessful interview with the formidable Anna Wintour, she did not get the job. The truth was she probably wasn't right for it as fashion was still an industry she was trying to understand. But if someone would have told her then that she would end up writing ANNA: The Biography, the most comprehensive account of the life and reign of Anna Wintour years later, she would not have believed them. Because of my fashion background and experience with Anna, this episode turned into a very candid discussion covering the complexities of what it is like to work with Anna, who benefits from her loyalty, and who gets left in the dust when she decides that you're radioactive. Amy and I go deep into Anna's complicated and often controversial decisions, including the defense of the antisemitic John Galliano and Georgina Chapman during the height of the Harvey Weinstein #MeToo movement. Whatever you think you know about Anna Wintour, this book and episode will shed a different light on someone who has seized and held power for over 34 years and shows no signs of being dethroned any time soon.

In this episode, Natalia, Niki, and Neil discuss the cryptocurrency craze. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week's show:  The crash of TerraLuna is proving “crypto” to be both more than a passing trend and less than the miracle its boosters once promised. We recommended Kevin Roose's “Latecomer's Guide to Crypto” in the New York Times. Niki drew on this History News Network article to link crypto enthusiasm to other financial bubbles, and Natalia referred to James Ledbetter's FIN Substack This 2013 (early) history of Bitcoin from New York Times provided useful context for all of us. Niki also recommended David Yaffe-Bellany's New York Times piece, “Ben McKenzie Would Like a Word with the Crypto Bros,” and the Crypto Island podcast.   In our regular closing feature, What's Making History: Natalia talked about Amy Odell's new book, Anna: The Biography. Neil discussed Sarah Pulliam Bailey's Washington Post article, “Southern Baptist Leaders Covered Up Sex Abuse, Kept Secret Database, Report Says.” Niki recommended Maureen Ryan's Vanity Fair article, “The Great Pottery Throwdown is a Balm for a Weary Age.”

We all know Anna Wintour as the iconic editor-in-chief of Vogue. You might recognize her for the bob cut, her black glasses and her floral dresses. But she's not only a strong leader with an extraordinary work ethic, and she's neither so cold in reality. I've been fascinated by Anna Wintour for a long time and if you have read my book Your Fashion Dream Plan you know that there is an illustration as well as a chapter with her name. So I was very excited to sit down with Amy Odell who has just published her book Anna the biography. Amy has built up Anna Wintour's story by interviewing more than 250 people over the past 3 years. In this podcast episode we chatted about Anna Wintour: why she is so powerful in fashion why do people beyond fashion ask for her opinion (including Serena Williams and Bradley Cooper when he had to cast for A star is born). if there is Vogue without Anna Wintourwho could replace her and if the next editor in chief will be as influential as AnnaGet your copy of Your Fashion Dream Plan on AmazonGet your copy of Anna the biography on amazon
