I really nearly spit out my coffee this morning when I read this rumor from the Fashion Week Daily ... apparently, Anna Wintour, Vogue's top chief and arguably the most powerful woman in fashion, is in the running for an official post within the Obama administration (she did throw a few fundraiser parties during the election season).
Perhaps ambassador to France? After chewing it over, I'm thinking that might be a good fit. She can have state dinners with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, she can host fabulous parties at 31 rue Cambon and she probably could even dictate just about everything, down to the invite lists, for Paris Fashion Week.
Of course, all of this would mean Anna is indeed stepping down from Vogue.
Stay tuned! I can't wait for the next rumor!
