Why has she sandwiched a picture of John Kerry and Victoria into that post?

Has anyone read the article “Inside Vogue’s glossy game of thrones” by The times? well, need to pay for it, but seems has lots dirt about inside CN's power game, EE was obviously overrated himself and underrate Anna

No....any kind enought to share it here?...thanks

I'm shocked this news made it into the covers of some English newspapers. They really care about fashion! I agree with Alex saying that Edward labeled her as the "racist b***h editor" any time he was explaining his different pont of view in media. She should had say something at the time, but she didn't help herself either.

Very sad to know what he was saying about her in the press
Not that i glamourized him anyway, cause if a person tell everyone he's super correct thats when you know is exactly the opposite

 

[mikel]

She makes some interesting points in her piece about the state of things, but I can’t believe people are falling for Alexandra Shulman’s white fragility.

I agree that the shared content strategy is one of the saddest decision that Conde has ever made. I still feel that it's a short term solution for a long term problem. It's been almost 2 years and I still feel sad every time I see the new issue of Vogue with no distinct personality and character.

She and Alt should have been more diverse at their time, they got their moment to open the standards, but they keep playing safe with Kate or Rianne. I don't think they are racist, those were (sadly) the times when only the fashion industry was behind the blue eyed blonde type non-stop, it was the context. That's why I love more and more Franca Sozzani, which at the same time when this was happening she was shaking the industry's rules from her chair, but always was outshined by Anna, because she was the Vogue leader of the franchise from the perspective of media and people outside fashion. Edward and Anna are the opposite from Alt and Alex, and are too obvious that the intention of being more diverse can saturate their publications. Edward's Vogue doesn't reflect that much the British cultural identity and people, it's very Hollywood sometimes and he wants to include all in the market, but the May issue was too much for me and took that as a tasteless joke from his side. Anna is diverse, but she only features rich and famous people with huge popularity. I don't know if you are diverse if you only include rich people that are part of the Club. I always bring the example of Vogue Mexico and Latin America as a diverse publication well done. Even if their covers can have its faults, there's a respect for the several identities from this part of the world, and is very effortless. Karla is one of the best editors on board now. She in the middle between the Alexes and Edwards.

Edward's Vogue wasn't any more diverse than Shulman's. He just switched white models to black.

rip vogue

It's an interesting point, and I don't mean to cause an outrage with this statement, but: The population of the UK is 80% white. At what point does having a majority of cover models as BIPOC people seem more like tokenism than an effort to show true diversity?

**Please note, I am not making a judgment call, just that it's a fair question to ask in the context of Vogue reflecting the population of its particular country.

I think people who are so vocal about diversity in fashion magazines don't know exactly what they want. It's very easy to throw the word diversity around, but when someone is actually trying to meet the demand, it's always perceived as performative (unless it's all black models, then SM crowd is happy). White people make the majority of Europe's population so I don't find it strange that white models dominate.

WOW I can't believe I'm going to say this but... she has regained my respect ahahahaha.
It was a brilliant piece and honest too it seems.
FINALLY she's being real with her thoughts.
I would have to say I didn't like Alexandra's Vogue nor Edward's but lol given the two eras, I would pick Alex's.

Hahaha, this crack me in two because it's so random as f!
