Anna Wintour Reveals the Secret Behind Her Dark Glasses

Anna Wintour has finally revealed why she always wears her trademark dark glasses. The iconic Vogue boss told Katie Razzall, BBC culture and media editor, “They help me see and they help me not see. They help me be seen and not be seen. They are a prop, I would say.” Asked if her distinctive public image was one she felt she had to perform, Wintour said, “I don’t really think about it. What I’m really interested in is the creative aspect of my job.” Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue and global chief content officer of Condé Nast, was also asked if it was true no one ever says no to her. “That is absolutely untrue. They often say no, but that’s a good thing. No is a wonderful word.” Asked if people were scared of her, Wintour said, “I hope not.” As for her own future, Wintour, 75, told Razzall, “I have no plans to leave my job,” adding: “Currently.”
