Happy birthday Anna Wintour, here’s some of your finest pearls of wisdom. If only they were real pearls, we’d wear them and call it couture.

Anna Wintour is 66 today. The editor-in-chief of American Vogue<\/em> and artistic director of Conde Nast is one of the most revered and feared women in fashion. We saw her ruthlessness in\u00a0The September Issue<\/em>, along with her honesty, pride and as cheesy as it sounds… passion for fashion. In her 66 years she’s done stints at\u00a0Harper’s Bazaar\u00a0<\/em>as well as British and American\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0and has even had a “fictional” film based on her life (The Devil Wears Prada<\/em>, duh).<\/p>\n

Becoming editor-in-chief of\u00a0Vogue\u00a0<\/em>in 1988, Wintour has since become a firm front row fixture globally. Elitist? Maybe. Controversial? Certainly. Regardless, she’s changed the face of both\u00a0Vogue<\/em> and\u00a0American Vogue <\/em>almost\u00a0<\/em>irreversibly, a phenomenal feat and for that Anna, we thank you, happy birthday. Here’s seven eloquent bombs she’s dropped over the year.<\/p>\n

Anna on longevity:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"giphy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“If you’re an overnight sensation, you can be yesterday’s news in no time, whereas building something slowly and carefully that has value and quality, that’s what’s going to have legs.”<\/p>\n

Anna\u00a0on fashion education:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"giphy<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou either know fashion or you don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna\u00a0on the definition of fashion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"giphy<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFashion is not beautiful, neither is it ugly. Why should it be either? Fashion is Fashion\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna on the relevance of fashion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"giphy<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what\u2019s going on in the world as a headline in The New York Times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna on failing…\u00a0once<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"giphy<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI worked for Harper\u2019s Bazaar. They fired me. I recommend that you all get fired; it\u2019s a great learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna on decisiveness:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"giphy<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat people hate the most is indecision. Even if I\u2019m completely unsure, I\u2019ll pretend I know exactly what I\u2019m talking about and make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna on resting bitch face:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"giphy<\/a><\/p>\n
