The Career of John Galliano


If you've got the time, watch this fascinating documentary about John Galliano. From his humble beginnings at Central Saint Martins to Anna Wintour putting her weight behind his talent. Then see how he was hired as the creative force for Givenchy and finally promoted to head designeer at Christian Dior.

Wintour to visit LFW

It has been confirmed American Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour will be front row for London Fashion Week in September - her first visit since 2007. No doubt the city owes the visit to the likes of Christopher Bailey's decision to return Burberry to London for Spring/Summer '10. 

(On a side note, I had a dream recently that I was Anna Wintour's personal assistant. Unlike The Devil Wears Prada however, her demands were less extravagant asking for chocolates of all things!)

The Wintour Effect.

I discovered this recent collection of videos documenting and interviewing the infamous Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of U.S. Vogue. I am completely fascinated. This first video gives an unbelievable insight into life at Vogue, the offices and corridors almost exactly the same as how they were depicted in 'The Devil Wears Prada'. 



Here designers Donatella Versace, Ralph Lauren, Miuccia Prada, and Domenaco Dolce & Stefano Gabbana, praise Anna to high heavens. Unsurprising really since Anna can make or break designers and their collections each season.

"The Vogue closet. This is where the magic happens." Every season, the closet is cleared of stock and replaced with the new season's trends. 

Watch more videos to hear Wintour's unapologetic opinion on fur, obesity, Oprah, and supporting new talent.
