Since me such assertive, powerful people have always been fascinated, I decided to look through the book in English "Front Row". Jerry Oppenheimer spreads on 360 pages from a comprehensive biography, ranging from birth on 11.3.1949 to 2004. Already from the preface is apparent that the Vogue editor did not fall it held to be placed at the focus of a biography and refused an interview. Oppenheimer was still about 200 persons who wanted to talk about their lives and work with Anna Wintour.
Jerry Oppenheimer has a very pleasant to read and write, even for those of you that before buying - due to rudimentary knowledge of English - shy, the biography is not tolerable reading experience. The author has acted very well in his research and I felt the work and effort that he has put into this work. The Childhood and Development Anna Wintour for today's fashion boss reads this also good, but the really interesting and exciting sections of "Front Row" began for me only when Anna Wintour more and more of "Vogue" turned and worked for it, intrigrierte and manipulated.
As this biography was not authorized, they must be treated with caution. Anna Wintour is a woman who expects a lot from himself, and the highest standards of their work represents. Throughout her career by many people who had to work under their "regime", lost their jobs. As Oppenheimer just interviewed such people, some anecdotes are marked on "Nuclear Wintour" of anger and rage, and less objective. You need to be aware when you read "Front Row".
For me it was a great reading experience and a good insight into the work and ministry of the most influential women in the fashion industry.
