Anna Wintour‘s style is best described as consistent. Since she has worked in the fashion industry for the larger part of her life, she has always had access to incredible clothes and accessories.

Anna Wintour is iconic and she is the reason for most fashion trends of our generation; her fabulous and clean-cut look is representative of her class and power.
