How fables and legends get started
Jennifer Howze recalls the memories of her delightfully cringe-worthy meeting with Anna Wintour.

It was actually a bit noble, I told myself, not putting on airs even for the grand Ms Wintour. Which is how I came to be walking across into the mythical white lobby, kitted out like an 18th-century undertaker: high-waisted black trousers, black brogues, a fussy white silk embroidered shirt and a black frock coat.”
