“ Some people have the Bible. I have 'Vogue'. ”

“ Fashion can tell you everything that's going on in the world with a strong fashion image. ”

“ I want 'Vogue' to be pacy, sharp... I'm not interested in the super-rich or infinitely leisured. I want our readers to be energetic executive women, with money of their own and a wide range of interests. ”

“ We have to reflect the world that we live in. It is so important for designers not to run scared, and not to be too worried about whats safe and whats commercial. ”

“ If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in the New York Times. ”

“ I think possibly what people working for one hate the most is indecision. Even if I'm completely unsure, I'll pretend I know exactly what I'm talking about and make a decision. ”

“ I've been very lucky to put women that I sincerely admire on the cover of 'Vogue': the then First Lady and now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and, more recently, First Lady Michelle Obama. Those were benchmarks for the magazine, and certainly covers that I've been very, very proud of. ”

“ If you can't be better than your competition, just dress better. ”

“ You either know fashion or you don't. ”

“ I'm very good at delegatingpeople work much better when they have a real sense of responsibility. ”
