FASHION royalty came face-to-face with actual royalty today when American Vogue's London-born, New York-based editor-in-chief,Anna Wintour, travelled to Buckingham Palace to be appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
With her award affixed firmly to her smart suit (which hails from Chanel's autumn/winter 2008-9 collection), the fashion maven smiled for reporters and photographers following the ceremony.
"It's a great honour. Many of my American colleagues are not quite sure what it is," she said. "I've worked very hard to support British fashion in the States through the exhibition called Anglomania, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and my support of designers like Alexander McQueen and John Galliano."
One of the most famous forces on the international fashion scene, Wintour was named in the Queen's 2008 Birthday Honours for services to the industry; her distinguished career has seen her spearhead both British and US Vogue, as well as various other titles.
