Anna Wintour cements influence as

Condé Nast’s new artistic director

Famous Vogue editor takes on first of its kind

role at publishing empire and ends speculation

over role in Obama administration.

Anna Wintour , the famous editor of Vogue, is already

the most powerful figure in the fashion world, but now

she is set to wield even more influence after being named

artistic director for the entire Condé Nast publishing empire.

The move ends months of speculation that Wintour was set

to mark the 25th anniversary of her reign at Vogue by landing

a job as ambassador to Britain or France or even take up a

roving cultural role for the US government.

Instead, Wintour, 63, is going to cement her position in

Condé Nast, extending her influence and sense of style

throughout the entire company which also includes such

staples of American life as the New Yorker and Vanity Fair.
