Fly-on-the-wall account of what really happened when Anna Wintour told stunned Vogue staff she was leaving


Anna Wintour , 75, sent a thunderbolt through the Vogue headquarters in New York on Thursday by suddenly revealing that she would be stepping down as editor-in-chief.

The Daily Mail understands that the British fashion icon announced the news at the end of a regular meeting with senior colleagues - and simply said that she was seeking a new Head of Editorial Content (HOEC) in the US. In the film adaptation, Anne Hathaway takes the role of university graduate Andrea Sachs, an assistant to the tyrannical magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. Her famed covers included appearances from A-listers such as Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Ivana Trump, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford.
