Anna Wintour: The New York Magazine Years (1981-1983)

{ From “Neighborhood Style” by Anna Wintour | New York Magazine, 1983 }

Yesterday morning Erin sent me an email with a link to an old issue of New York Magazine and the subject line “SO GOOD.” You can see what she was talking about if you go to here; it’s a 1983 issue of NY Mag, and if you scroll down you’ll find an article on “Neighborhood Style” by Anna Wintour showcasing interiors from various NYC neighborhoods – everywhere from Greenwich Village to Hell’s Kitchen to the Upper East Side, and it really is. SO good.

I couldn’t find upload-able images from that article to show you (the above is just a screenshot, and it’s a shame to show you these interiors in anything but the highest of hi-res), but my search sent me down a rabbit hole of amazing New York Magazine Anna Wintour shoots from 1981-1983 (when she left to join Vogue) that…well, if you’ve ever wondered why she’s considered such a force of nature, these should clear it up.

For your Friday viewing pleasure: these.
