Tina Brown on Anna Wintour's (Ostensible) Turn Around


Tina Brown, founder and editor of The Daily Beast writes a short quipping appraisal piece on American Vogue's editor Anna Wintour's recent 'successes'. In light of her precarious disposition of being born in the 1940s and managing a magazine that's geared to the vanity of youth and bleeding money in a medium that's undergoing unprecedented technological and distribution revolutions, I'd say that neither letting people film her at work nor organizing a night where opportunists (a few of them consumers) are attracted to stores for autographs, free booze and food are successes. Like so many of the people over sixty who work for Vogue, her fate is sealed.
