This is a review of the Anna Wintour Teaches Creativity and Leadership class from MasterClass!
The MasterClass Instructor – Anna Wintour
Anna Wintour opens her class with an introduction to how she grew up and where she started her career in the fashion industry. She talks about how this is the first time she has been able to put all of the lessons and experiences that have helped her become a great creative leader in one place for viewers to learn from. For those who are not familiar with Anna Wintour, she has been the editor-in-chief of Vogue since 1988 and is also the artistic director of Condé Nast.
Journalism is in Anna Wintour’s blood. From the time she was a teenager in London, her father, Charles Wintour, longtime editor of the British newspaper The Evening Standard, would consult with her on how to make the paper more appealing to a younger demographic. She began her career in 1970 as an editorial assistant at Harper’s & Queen then moved to New York in 1975 and worked for the American edition of Harper’s Bazaar before becoming fashion editor of New York magazine in 1980. In 1983, when she was only 33 years old, Anna was hired by Alexander Liberman, Artistic Director of Condé Nast, as Creative Director of American Vogue under then Editor-in-Chief, Grace Mirabella. Shortly after, Anna returned to England to become Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, only to return to New York in 1987 to take over House & Garden. Less than a year later, she became Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue.
Anna Wintour has created a class that teaches specific lessons for young designers, photographers, editors, and anyone working in fashion journalism.
