THE world's most powerful fashion editor, Anna Wintour, is the first subject in three documentaries entitled Boss Women (BBC1, 10.40pm). British-born Wintour reveals little of her personal life apart from the fact that her father, London Evening Standard editor Charles Wintour, wrote Vogue Editor on her careers form at school. Another high-powered woman, Glenda Jackson, narrates as we glimpse the inside world of power and glamour as Wintour prepares for the 1999 Paris couture collections, organises the Costume Institute Ball at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the VH1 Vogue Fashion Awards. Interviews include John Galliano, who claims to owe his House of Dior career to her, and Karl Largerfield. Another fashion journalist sums Wintour up: "She defines what modern fashion is today."
