It was late spring, and Anna Wintour, the notoriously decisive editor of Vogue, was stymied. That is not a common state for her. But the presidential election had her in a bind, at least when it came to her December issue. She had to make a magazine in one reality and publish it in another. What to do?

She is of course the iconic Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine. Wintour has not only influenced how people dress in the US, she has also had a hand in shaping fashion globally, including in Africa and India.

Anna Wintour has chosen Marc Jacobs as the first guest editor in US Vogue’s history.
