She's Anna Wintour, editor in chief of \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e, the world's fashion bible. With her signature Louise Brooks bob, trademark sunglasses, and glamorous furs, she's a sexy international diva, gossiped about the world over. As famed designed Oscar de la Renta declares, \"She's a star.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow did Wintour, who quit school over the length of her hemline, and who had no real writing or communication skills, rise to the pinnacle of the fashion magazine world? Based on scores of interviews with present and former friends and colleagues, \u003ci\u003eFront Row\u003c\/i\u003e is the scrupulously researched, often shocking life story of this enigmatic icon—a candid portrait of a fashion-obsessed teenager in Swinging Sixties London who claws her way up the ivory tower in New York.
