“I was certainly surprised by Anna’s prominence in this industry. It’s true that she is really this singular figure in this enormous global industry. You can make a movie without Stephen Spielberg’s blessing and you can publish software without Bill Gates’ blessing, but you can’t get a dress you designed on a rack without Anna Wintour’s blessing. You kind of have to see it to believe it.” - R.J. Cutler, director of The September Issue.

Oooh have to disagree #2. Are you serious? I hope you are joking because if she knew you called her "girlfriend" she would slap you across the face with her eyes.
Wonderful? It's a necessary evil. Influential? to a shrinking number of followers who think Michael Kors is high fashion. Exceptional? Hells no. Self Service is exceptional. V is exceptional.
I don't hate Anna, i think she is stunning and smart but she also has limited innovation and diversity in american fashion, especially in contrast to other creative industries, which I think is Mr. Cutler's point.
