Bring It On
The 1990s
In her early days as Editor, Anna threw her support behind Vogue's Seventh on Sale initiative to benefit AIDS research. The designer sample sale grossed over 4 million dollars and continued in subsequent years. Anna is shown here at the first ever sale, wearing a t-shirt and wide grin.

And The Present:
Anna's collaboration with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has also worked to create The Fashion Fund, which in 2003 began scholarship programs to assist students. A Hulu web-series chronicling the efforts of struggling designers by the same name has also resulted from the project. Check out our coverage from the recent launch of The Fashion Fund on the Ovation Network here!
