Filthy Fashionistas

We found this gem of scoop courtesy of Fashionindie.com. Yes, that is an actual memo from publishing giant Conde Nast (Vogue, Self, Allure, W, Glamour) to their slovenly employees. We actually aren’t that shocked by what crazy, dirty, bitches there are in fashion publishing. But we were surprised to see that Conde Naste actually listens to their lowly intern’s concerns. This is far better than how most apparel companies treat interns. Now, we are just waiting to see if someone can snag a photo of Anna Wintour doing her own dishes! Priceless!
If that isn’t enough of a laugh at Vogue’s expense, did you hear about the ice queen’s comments on recession proofing the fashion industry? The CFDA and other industry heavyweights met to discuss the loss of sales in the retail industry. Basically, there is too big of a timing delay between the highly publicized runway shows and when the clothing actually appears in stores. By the time the consumer is able to buy the goods, the styles subconsciously appear outdated from excessive media exposure.
According to Jezebel.com, Anna Wintour’s proposed solution was definitely the highlight, though. The Vogue editor offered this gem:“Could someone lead a committee that would make ground rules for retailers of when the discounting starts, and then all the retailers can agree to it?” Von Furstenberg filled her in on the fact that that was illegal – if the big department stores had any agreement like that, it would amount to price-fixing and collusion, an anti-trust lawsuit in the making. “Is that something we can change?” asked Wintour. “We have friends in the White House now!”
Brilliant Anna, just brilliant!

We send out dirty dishes emails every month – amazing that people think there are dish genies running around manhattan doing everone’s dirty dishes.
Ahh, classic Wintour.

Dirty dishes imply that people are eating! So I don’t believe this is real :-)

By the way, this drives me crazy on fashion blogs: “By the time the consumer is able to buy the goods, the styles subconsciously appear outdated from excessive media exposure.” — people saying they are over shizz before they’ve even TOUCHED it. WTF. Get off the Internet once in a while, ya know?
