Rumors have been rife for<br />
years that Enninful, 51, was plotting<br />
to become the next editor of<br />
American Vogue, which would<br />
have meant turfing out Wintour in<br />
the process.<br />
But at 73, Wintour, who has<br />
been at the helm of US Vogue for<br />
34 years and is also the Global<br />
Editorial Director of Vogue editions<br />
around the world, has no plans<br />
to go anywhere — even as<br />
magazine circulation continues<br />
to plummet in this difficult media<br />
environment, her friends told Page<br />
Six.<br />
“People have tried to doubt<br />
Anna, to take her down, and she’s<br />
amazing — she just keeps on<br />
going” said one person who knows<br />
her well.<br />
“Anna has no plans to retire,”<br />
added a well-placed fashion<br />
source, who admitted that friends<br />
have told Wintour she should step<br />
back and relax.<br />
When announcing his move,<br />
Enninful said that Wintour was part<br />
of the decision for him to “play a<br />
broader role in enhancing Vogue<br />
globally.”<br />
Still, some sources were keen to<br />
stress that Wintour did not engineer<br />
it as a step down for Enninful,<br />
although it certainly takes him out<br />
of the limelight he’s earned as<br />
editor-in-chief. During his tenure,<br />
he’s been celebrated for making<br />
British Vogue a beacon of diversity.<br />
