Even though I have been in this fashion business for over 25 years, I still found it revealing and somewhat illuminating.<br \/>\nI have always been attracted to the persona of Anna Wintour and I must add that I have always perceived her as a rare breed and class act. Some have called her the &#8220;Ice Queen&#8221; and that she is inaccessible. I do not subscribe to that notion and believe that the reason she is perceived as such, is due to the nature of this business and the need to keep those who merit close proximity in a special circle. I have experienced first hand the difference between a friend and a &#8220;FRIEND&#8221;&#8230;<br \/>\nNudge Nudge, Wink Wink Say No More, Say No More&#8230;<br \/>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/player.ooyala.com\/player.js?deepLinkEmbedCode=BhOTBkMjoDOXv1KYf9y3Oj5HyfrrpQJO&amp;height=360&amp;embedCode=BhOTBkMjoDOXv1KYf9y3Oj5HyfrrpQJO&amp;width=528\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Got 25 minutes to kill on this misty Monday?<br \/>\nWhile there aren&#8217;t a whole lot of revelations in Bloomberg&#8217;s &#8220;Game Changers&#8221; documentary on Anna Wintour, there are a few solid <em>who knew<\/em>s. The episode chronicles Wintour&#8217;s fashion roots from her days as a high school dropout (&#8220;it was the 60s&#8221; and she was &#8220;captivated by London&#8217;s cultural and social scene&#8221;) to her nomadic journey in magazine publishing.<br \/>\nOnce a young Wintour was fired from <em>Harper&#8217;s Bazaar<\/em>, her inaugural American gig, for being &#8220;too European,&#8221; she was <em>Vogue<\/em>-bound. But she first took a detour to <em>Penthouse<\/em> founder and publisher Bob Guccione&#8217;s <em>Viva<\/em>, an erotic magazine for women where Wintour&#8217;s fashion editorials were widely recognized. (You&#8217;ll find that bit around 4:32.)<br \/>\nAnd while Wintour is often applauded for picking celebraties in lieu of supermodels as <em>Vogue<\/em> cover girls, this tactic resulted in subscription refunds at House &amp; Garden, her second stop before helming the glossy.<br \/>\nSubstituting empty rooms with celebrities and their lavish dwellings may have cost Wintour the job, but Teri Agins, former fashion writer for  the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> notes that Wintour&#8217;s choices were  &#8220;revolutionary,&#8221; adding &#8220;her plan to come in and do something that radical to an established magazine &#8212; the prospect for failure is high  when you do something that gutsy.&#8221; (Check it out at 9:03.)<br \/>\nUpon her <em>Vogue<\/em> debut, Wintour was gutsy from the get-go. Her first front image featured Michaela Bercu in a $10,000 sweater&#8230; paired with $40 jeans. Elaborate shoots with the renowned photographers  elevated <em>Vogue<\/em>&#8216;s stature. Then the narrator reminds us that in 2003 Wintour created <em>Vogue Living<\/em> and <em>Men&#8217;s Vogue<\/em>, two brand extensions that were unsuccessful. (At Wintour&#8217;s defense &#8212; <em>Teen Vogue<\/em> was launched at the same time and is still on stands.)<strong><em> From the &#8220;The Anna Wintour Bloomberg Game Changers Video&#8221; Huffington Post<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interested in the Fashion Industry, we at Benjamin Kanarek Blog highly recommend you spend the time to watch this revealing Anna Wintour Bloomberg video<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[19],"tags":[808,15,708,785,57,95,245,954,42,174],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/anna-wintour-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paG8MM-41E","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":12343,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/fashion-luxury-industry\/stylist-eyes-ears-fashion-industry\/","url_meta":{"origin":15478,"position":0},"title":"The Stylist &#8211; Your Eyes and Ears of the Fashion Industry &#8211; Part 2","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"December 15, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"You might know them as a Stylist, Photo Stylist, Fashion Stylist, Fashion Editor, Fashion Coordinator or Accessory Stylist - But what is their function","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Luxury, Fashion Industry&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Luxury, Fashion Industry","link":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/category\/fashion-luxury-industry\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/fashion-stylist-melanie-ward-5-600x420.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/fashion-stylist-melanie-ward-5-600x420.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/fashion-stylist-melanie-ward-5-600x420.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":6641,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/photography\/networking-route-success\/","url_meta":{"origin":15478,"position":1},"title":"Networking, a part of the Route to Success","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"March 18, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"There is a point in a photographers growth where their capacity to produce outstanding imagery becomes irrelevant - Networking is a very important part of the route to success","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Photography&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Photography","link":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/category\/photography\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Unisex-by-Benjamin-Kanarek.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Unisex-by-Benjamin-Kanarek.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Unisex-by-Benjamin-Kanarek.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":12665,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/fashion-luxury-industry\/vogue-paris-carine-roitfeld-tom-ford-christmas-greeting-card\/","url_meta":{"origin":15478,"position":2},"title":"The VOGUE Paris-Carine Roitfeld-Tom Ford Christmas Greeting Card","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"January 4, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Since the now legendary fashion biz earthquake, caused by Carine Roitfeld's VOGUE Paris exit, the speculations about her future moves are running rampant.
