Anna Wintour on Her Personal Definition of "Avant-Garde"

You look wonderful.

Thank you.

What is your definition of avant-garde?

Obviously avant-garde is different things

to different people.

And that s what I hope we re going to see

on the red carpet tonight.

I hear tales of people that are gonna be wearing

one look on the red carpet and then changing

because they weren t built to actually move into dinner

or to the exhibition.

(laughing)

How many times have you been to Tokyo?

Several times.

The last time I went was for Fashion s Night Out,

and we had so much fun.

They love fashion.

They love to dress up.

Doesn t matter what age you are.

When you get dressed do you think it s more interesting

to dress sexy or interesting?

Tonight I hope it s a combination of both.
