From the New York Times bestselling author of Just Desserts: Martha Stewart: The Unauthorized Biography comes a scrupulously researched investigative biography that tells the inside story of Anna Wintour's incredible rise to power

From her exclusive perch front row center, glamorous Vogue magazine editor in chief Anna Wintour is the most powerful and influential style-maker in the world. Behind her trademark sunglasses and under the fringe of her Louise Brooks bob she determines whether miniskirts are in or out, whether or not it's politically correct to wear fur. She influences designers, wholesalers, and retailers globally from Seventh Avenue to the elegant fashionista enclaves of L'Avenue Montaigne and Via della Spiga. In the U.S. alone a more than $200 billion fashion industry can rise or fall on Anna Wintour's call. And every month millions of women-and men-read Vogue, and are influenced by the pages of the chic and trendy style wish-book that she has controlled with an iron hand in a not-always-so-velvet glove since fighting her way to the most prestigious job in fashion journalism.

Anna Wintour's fashion influence extends to celebrities and politicians: because of it, Hillary Clinton underwent a drastic makeover and became the first First Lady to strike a pose on the cover of Vogue in the midst of Monicagate; Oprah Winfrey was forced to go on a strict diet before Wintour would put her on Vogue's cover. And beauties like Rene Zellweger and Nicole Kidman follow Anna Wintour's fashionista rules to the letter.

Now in her mid-fifties, as she nears her remarkable second decade at the helm of Vogue, comes this revealing biography that will shock and surprise both Anna's fans and detractors alike. Based on scores of interviews, Front Row unveils the Anna Wintour even those closest to her don't know. Oppenheimer chronicles this insecure and creative powerhouse's climb to the top of the bitchy, competitive fashion magazine world, showing up close, as never before exposed, how she artfully crafted and reinvented herself along the way.

She's been called many things-"Nuclear Wintour," by the British press, "cold suspicious and autocratic, a vision in skinniness," by Grace Mirabella, the editor she dethroned at Vogue, and the "Devil" by those who believe she's the inspiration for a recent bestselling novel written by a former assistant.

Included among the startling revelations in Front Row are:
* Anna's "silver spoon" childhood spent craving time with her father.
* Anna's rebellious teen years in London, obsessed with fashion, night-clubbing and dating roguish men.
* Anna's many tempestuous romances.

* Anna's curious marriage to a brilliant child psychiatrist, her role as a mother, and the shocking scandal that led to divorce when she had an affair with a married man.

来自《纽约时报》畅销书《公正的甜点》的作者。玛莎-斯图尔特。一本经过严格研究的调查性传记，讲述了安娜-温图尔不可思议的权力崛起的内部故事。

从她独占的前排中间位置，迷人的《Vogue》杂志主编安娜-温图尔是世界上最有权力和影响力的风格制定者。在她标志性的太阳镜后面，在她路易斯-布鲁克斯（Louise Brooks）发型的流苏下，她决定了迷你裙是否流行，穿皮草是否政治正确。她影响着全球的设计师、批发商和零售商，从第七大道到L'Avenue Montaigne和Via della Spiga的优雅时尚人士飞地。仅在美国，一个超过2000亿美元的时尚产业的兴衰取决于安娜-温图尔的召唤。每个月都有数以百万计的女性和男性阅读《Vogue》，并受到这本别致而时尚的愿望书的影响，自从她成为时尚新闻界最负盛名的工作以来，她就用一只铁手控制着这本并不总是那么天鹅绒的手套。

安娜-温图尔的时尚影响力延伸到了名人和政治家身上：因为它，希拉里-克林顿经历了大刀阔斧的改造，成为第一位在 "莫尼卡门 "中在《时尚》封面上摆出姿势的第一夫人；奥普拉-温弗里在温图尔让她登上《时尚》封面之前被迫进行了严格的减肥。而像Rene Zellweger和Nicole Kidman这样的美女则完全遵循Anna Wintour的时尚人士规则。

现在，在她50多岁的时候，在她执掌《Vogue》的第二个十年里，这本揭露性的传记会让安娜的粉丝和反对者都感到震惊和惊喜。基于大量的采访，《前排》揭开了安娜-温图尔的面纱，甚至那些最亲近她的人都不知道。奥本海默记录了这位缺乏安全感和创造力的女强人在竞争激烈的时尚杂志界攀上顶峰的过程，近距离展示了她如何艺术地塑造和重塑自己，这在以前是从未曝光过的。

她被称为很多东西--英国媒体称她为 "核温图尔"，被她在《Vogue》杂志上废黜的编辑Grace Mirabella称为 "冷酷多疑和独断专行，肤浅的愿景"，还有人认为她是一位前助理最近写的畅销小说的灵感来源。

在《前排》中，令人震惊的启示包括。

* 安娜的 "银汤匙 "童年，渴望与父亲共度时光。

* 安娜在伦敦的叛逆期，痴迷于时尚、夜总会和与无赖的男人约会。

* 安娜的许多风流韵事。

* 安娜与一位出色的儿童精神病学家的奇特婚姻，她作为母亲的角色，以及当她与一个已婚男人有染时导致离婚的令人震惊的丑闻。
