One of the most powerful women in fashion today, Anna Wintour, Editrix of Vogue Magazine, has been named an OBE, or the official title, Officer of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II, for her contributions to British Journalism (she is a Brit after all, in case you did not know it). Long title, no? The OBE announcements were made this past Saturday, with Wintour being the second Brit in fashion in less than a month’s time to be named OBE; Glenda Bailey of Harper’s Bazaar was named earlier in the month. An esteemed recognition definitely, but surely not as pulse-quickening as the newest Dolce & Gabanna or Prada accessory awaiting you on your front row seat at fashion week.
