Anna Wintour stepped down last week, and if that sentence means nothing to you, let me say it another way: the woman who’s been the high priestess of fashion for decades just took a bow.

For 36 years, Anna ruled Vogue with her signature bob, black sunglasses, and a level of power most CEOs would kill for.

She didn’t just influence fashion… she defined it. From hand-selecting Met Gala guests to deciding who made it on the cover of Vogue, Anna wasn’t a tastemaker.

She was the taste.

But she wasn’t born in Chanel. She started as an assistant at Harper’s & Queen in London, got fired from Harper’s Bazaar in New York, and slowly climbed her way up through jobs that didn’t look glamorous on paper.

What set her apart (besides her absolute refusal to bend to trends) was that she made bold, sometimes unpopular decisions and stood by them.

Like putting a model in $50 jeans on the cover of Vogue in 1988. Scandalous at the time. Genius in hindsight.

Over time, she turned Vogue into a global cultural force, launched careers (both designers and models), and became so iconic that even a fictionalized version of her (The Devil Wears Prada’s Miranda Priestly our queen) was instantly recognizable.

So, what’s next? She’s still staying on as the force behind the Met Gala (duh), but her formal role as Editor-in-Chief of Vouge is done. It’s the end of an era.

But maybe more importantly: it’s a reminder.

That even the most powerful women in the world eventually say, “I’m done here.” 

Not because they’re tired or irrelevant, but because they know when it’s time to close one chapter and move on with power and poise. There’s something deeply Salesgirl about that.

So whether you’re thinking about stepping back, stepping up, or stepping into something new… take a note from Anna.

Your exit can be just as iconic as your arrival.
