The 'Rumors I've Heard About Anna Wintour' comics are from an extremely hysterical illustrated book by Lisa Hanawalt that mocks the fashion icon.
The Queen of Conde Nast publications is illustrated perfectly, with her signature bob and large sunglasses. The illustrations mock the editor-in-chief with outrageous claims, for example, that she naps in a Louis Vuitton trunk. A favorite of mine is the mocking of Wintor's favoritism for certain designers and the way she treats them. Another extremely hysterical comic is one that pokes fun at Wintour's destain for plus-sized people (and how secretly, she is a "chubby-chaser").
These 'Rumors I've Heard About Anna Wintour' comics are hysterically unrealistic, but provide a funny play on the infamous Vogue editor, who is notoriously known as the "devil in Prada."
