Anna Wintour was born in London in 1949 to the editor of Evening Standard, Charles Wintour and his American wife, Eleanor Trego. Journalism is in her blood – so much so that when her parents divorced in 1979, her father married Audrey Slaughter, the editor of Honey and Petticoat.
18th Century novelist Lady Elizabeth Foster, Duchess of Devonshire, was Wintour’s great-great-great-grandmother, and Sir Augustus Vere Foster was a granduncle. You could say that Anna was destined for her famous role as Editor-in-Chief of US Vogue, but it wasn’t just her bloodline that preempted her career. Anna grew up in the swinging ’60s, and she couldn’t get enough of fashion.
