Bob Sauerberg, chief executive officer of Condé Nast,  told that Anna Wintour is decidedly not leaving her position as editor in chief of Vogue, nor her role as artistic director of Condé Nast, addressing months of seemingly nonstop talk from all corners of media that she would relinquish at least one of her posts by year end.  Publisher of Vogue Magazine, Conde Nast has announced amidst speculations in the industry that Anna Wintour, the influential editor of Vogue magazine, is remaining in her job indefinitely. Anna Wintour is an incredibly talented and creative leader whose influence is beyond measure. She is integral to the future of our company’s transformation and has agreed to work with the company  indefinitely in her role as Vogue magazine editor-in-chief and artistic director of Conde Nast added Conde Nast Chief Executive Bob Sauerberg said in a statement on the company’s Twitter feed

Wintour, 68, known for her large sunglasses, pageboy haircut, and aloof public profile, has been editor in chief of the fashion magazine since 1988.  She is a renowned fashion force and beloved by a worldwide industry. Her towering influence was made infamous in the 2006 Meryl Streep comedy "The Devil Wears Prada," a film based on a novel written by her former assistant.

Wintour was born in the U.K. and began a career in fashion journalism in Britain before relocating to New York in the mid-1970s. In 1985, she returned to the U.K. to helm British Vogue, but by 1988, Wintour was installed as the editor of American Vogue. She has held the position ever since.

In 2013, Wintour was elevated to the dual role of artistic director for Conde Nast, Vogue's publisher. Last year, Queen Elizabeth II made Wintour a Dame Commander of the British Empire, the female equivalent of a knighthood. Rumors that she was about to step down or be pushed aside have been swirling in the fashion industry for weeks. London-born Wintour has a towering influence in the fashion world.
