Michelle Obama backs Anna Wintour
for Obama Reelection Fashion Show
By SHARON CHURCHER and NICK PRYER
Anyone doubting the
veracity of Washington
rumors that Anna Wintour,
the famously icy fashion
queen of New York City,
will soon become a
high-profile American
ambassador in Europe will
be jealous to discover the
rumors are true.
In March 2009, the magazine – ruled by
Wintour as her personal fiefdom –
devoted its cover and eight glossy pages
inside to an interview with the new First
Lady Michelle Obama alongside a
fabulously
glamorous
set
of
photographs shot by legendary portrait
photographer Annie Leibovitz. The
‘Michelle Obama Edition’ hit the
newsstands with the glowing headline
“The First Lady The World’s Been
Waiting For” – and transformed her
public image at a stroke.
