Anna Wintour, OBE (; born 3 November 1949) is the English editor-in-chief of American ''Vogue'', a position she has held since 1988. In 2013, she became artistic director for Condé Nast, ''Vogue'' She is the eldest daughter of Charles Wintour, editor of the London ''Evening Standard''. Her father consulted her on how to make the newspaper relevant to the youth of the era. Anna became interested in fashion as a teenager. Her career in fashion journalism began at two British magazines. Later, she moved to the United States, with stints at ''New York'' and ''House & Garden.'' She returned home for a year to turn around British ''Vogue'', and later assumed control of the franchise's magazine in New York, reviving what many saw as a stagnating publication. Her use of the magazine to shape the fashion industry has been the subject of debate within it. Animal rights activists have attacked her for promoting fur, while other critics have charged her with using the magazine to promote elitist views of femininity and beauty. A former personal assistant, Lauren Weisberger, wrote the 2003 best selling ''roman à clef'' ''The Devil Wears Prada'', later made into a successful film starring Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, a fashion editor, believed to be based on Wintour. In 2009, she was the focus of another film, R.J. Cutler's documentary ''The September Issue''. ==Family== Wintour was born in London, in 1949, to Charles Wintour (1917–1999), editor of the ''Evening Standard'', and Eleanor "Nonie" Trego Baker (1917-1995), daughter of a Harvard law professor. Her parents married in 1940 and divorced in 1979. Wintour was named after her maternal grandmother, Anna Baker (born Gilkynson), a merchant's daughter from Pennsylvania.〔Oppenheimer, 2.
