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 />
