Anna Wintour Clinging to Vogue
By admins | May 27, 2009
So, is everyone’s favorite ice queen in or out? Who hasn’t noticed Anna Wintour’s recent media blitz? When someone who normally avoids the media starts courting them, something’s up. Rumors have been swirling for a year now that Vogue is looking to drop her, but is the real Devil who Wears Prada going anywhere? We made our thoughts clear last December in this post and are still hoping for changes at Vogue.
Recently, Anna has had her own documentary, a public Q & A at the 92nd St Y, and was featured on 60 minutes a few weekends ago. What have we learned from all this press? Well, she made Oprah drop 20 pounds to be on the cover of Vogue, she wears enormous sun glasses as part of her “armor”, she calls fat Midwestern people “little houses”, and she doesn’t believe that she’d be good at anything else besides running Vogue. Oh yeah, we also learned that we still don’t care for her and think that this is one fashion moment that has run its course.

as a young designer, i honestly don’t care for her. american vogue is not a great magazine, and the only reason why i order it is because it was a dollar an issue (haha). i usually save most of my foreign magazines but the editorials in most american vogues are ho-hum at best and advertisements are overflowing. i don’t get inspired looking at its shoots, and i certainly don’t read any of the articles. it needs a revamp for sure, and anna wintour can’t be a part of it.
ps: can i please show you my “who killed anna wintour?” tshirt? :D

That was such a softball 60 Min. interview, I was hoping for so much more!

American Vogue is by far the weak link of the four ones run from the 4 fashion capitals, and yeah, she might make a wedge for them but there is RIDICULOUS amuonts of ads in them, and there not even fashion related or worth looking at. The only thing they have going for them there is the number of interviews on celebs.

I’ve been praying for the day that she leaves for some time now….try years… the industry has changed so much because of her and her croonies…try Leon Tally and Oscar De La Renta to name a couple. mm mm. There is no joy in it….They need to sack her, put in a fresh totally new start and sack the other no gooders as well!!!!

One of these days I’ll get around to making my post on the matter. Anna’s time is up. She’s not going to just go though. It’s going to take a hell of alot of coercing to get her out of that seat because she’s made Vogue what it is along with the team she assembled. She’s going to go eventually, but she’s going to make a silent racket. I think that’s already being done actually. I think it’s time for her to go but just like in the Devil Wears Prada, she’s one step ahead of the game and maneuvering people around in the industry saving her seat for the point at which she knows she has no more cards to play.
And her successor… will be a blogger, or someone of the like.. that’s what they need. They need to pull bloggers into the company and give us alot of pull because what we’re doing is apparently working. And no I’m not saying a writer cum blogger, who came to the net because everyone else came. No, I’m saying someone who’s going to have the ingenuity to find out what’s the next frontier for that fashion mag. Someone like Susie from Style Bubble or Nicola Formichetti. or me.. hahaha
