With President Obama’s administration leaning on David Cameron not to fracture relations with the EU, one important question has yet to be addressed: where does Anna Wintour stand on the EU question?
The British-born editor of American Vogue is being tipped as the next US ambassador to London. Despite being nicknamed “Nuclear Wintour”, could she be the secret weapon to persuade Cameron?
After all, she does have first-hand experience of inter-European industry, albeit through fashion houses such as LVMH and Prada, and would have the ear of our Prime Minister if she were installed in the ambassador’s residence in Regent’s Park.
And perhaps she could offer him some of the wisdom she showed in The September Issue, the 2009 documentary on American Vogue. “On the whole,” she said, “people who say demeaning things about our world — I think that’s usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of ‘the cool group’, so as a result they just mock it.”
