>> INSIDER WIRE —A couple of Anna Wintour tidbits: it's circling that one or more of her assistants may have been fired or quit recently; Arlenis Sosa Pena credits Anna with helping her land a lucrative Lancome contract within a month of being discovered: "She invited me to the Met ball with Moises de la Renta, the son of Oscar. I went and she introduced me to Giorgio Armani, George Clooney and Julia Roberts. I met a lot of other people that evening, too — stylists, designers, so many I didn’t know. The next day, Lancôme sent a message to my agency and wanted to meet me. Three weeks later, I had a contract." [The Cut Twitter, WWD]

UPDATE: Two of Anna's three assistants "are leaving soon." [The Cut]
