After nearly four decades defining—and sometimes defying—the rules of fashion, Anna Wintour is stepping away from her iconic role as editor-in-chief of American Vogue. The 75-year-old powerhouse, famous for her sunglasses and razor-sharp bob as well as her fashion judgment, won’t give up entirely; she’ll continue as Vogue’s global editorial director and Condé Nast’s chief content officer.
With her daring covers—her debut famously mixed Guess jeans and high couture—to making the Met Gala fashion’s biggest night, Wintour didn’t just report on trends, she set them. Vogue searches for its next editorial voice, and we wonder: who could possibly fill Anna’s (undoubtedly fabulous) shoes?
