Anna Wintour's New Role:

On Wednesday it was announced by Conde Nast CEO Charles H Townsend that Anna Wintour has just been appointed the new Artistic Director of Condé Nast. Townsend states that Wintour's new position is a way to "leverage Anna's extraordinary vision and leadership'' within the company. Wintour's new role is one of many which the legendary editor upholds; she currently edits American Vogue (she was first appointed in 1988), is the editorial director of Teen Vogue, runs Fashion Night out, is a member of Barack Obama's Arts and Humanities Committee and is 'an elective trustee of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City'. This new position proves once and again what an influential figure Anna Wintour has become within the fashion and publishing industry.
