The news spread around the globe as if it were an alien invasion: Anna Wintour is stepping down. The super-mega director of Vogue America announced that she has left her role as editor-in-chief after a career that began in 1988, while still taking on an “overview” position across all Condé Nast publications, particularly the international editions of Vogue.
