Wintour begins her book with a look back at the early days of Vogue. Founded in 1892, the magazine was originally aimed at the wealthy elite. However, under the leadership of Wintour's predecessor, Diana Vreeland, Vogue began to embrace a more modern and inclusive vision of fashion.

Wintour herself joined Vogue in 1983, and she quickly became one of the magazine's most influential figures. She was known for her sharp eye for talent and her willingness to take risks. Under her leadership, Vogue became the world's leading fashion magazine.

In The Glossy Years, Wintour shares her memories of some of the most iconic moments in Vogue's history. She recalls working with photographers like Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, and models like Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell. She also discusses the magazine's coverage of major cultural events, such as the AIDS crisis and the rise of hip-hop.

In addition to her work at Vogue, Wintour has also been a major force in the art world. She has served on the board of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Costume Institute. In 2014, she co-curated the groundbreaking exhibition "China: Through the Looking Glass" at the Met.

In The Glossy Years, Wintour reflects on her experiences in both the fashion and art worlds. She argues that the two are inextricably linked, and that both play an important role in shaping our culture.

Wintour's book is a fascinating look at the golden age of magazine publishing. It is also a personal memoir by one of the most influential figures in fashion and culture. The Glossy Years is a must-read for anyone interested in fashion, photography, art, or the history of our time.
