There's been constant coverage of Anna Wintour retiring at 75. The picture in all the articles is remarkable - she looks to be 50 years old. The world of cosmetic surgery and medical interventions has fully arrived. She isn't wearing her signature dark glasses in the photos.
Supposedly in her younger days, it was said that she wore dark glasses because she had bags and dark circles under her eyes. Much later she said it was "to hide what she's thinking or feeling."
She wore sunglasses "since the beginning of her career" or maybe it was in the 1990s, according to another writer. How attached is she to her glasses? She was so attached that she wore them while telling the staff of the Pitchfork that they were all being fired.
“One absolutely bizarro detail from this week is that Anna Wintour — seated indoors at a conference table — did not remove her sunglasses while she was telling us that we were about to get canned,” Allison Hussey, a former staff writer at Pitchfork, wrote on her X social media account."
Such a powerful person in the fashion news world, and so much attention on something other than her accomplishments. Maybe her "caricature" in the movie The Devil Wore Prada was truer to life than one would like.
