I think so...thanks!
French luxury brand Celine and Vogue appear not to be the best of fashion friends after Emmanuelle Alt left Vogue France, formerly known as Vogue Paris.
The brand’s artistic, creative and image director Hedi Slimane is understood to be so upset by Alt’s departure that Vogue Runway was not invited to cover Celine’s spring 2022 virtual show.
“It was not our decision to not cover spring 2022, but we look forward to covering the brand’s next show,” a Vogue source said.
WWD also understands from sources that Slimane has expressed his frustration to Vogue global director and Condé Nast chief content officer Anna Wintour and hit the brakes on some advertising with the Vogue brand
A spokeswoman for Celine said this was inaccurate, but did not provide further detail.
Over the past year amid the global pandemic, Condé Nast has made sweeping changes to its organization structure as it looks to streamline global editions and save costs. It began last December when execs announced that Wintour would be given even more control by making her chief content officer and global editorial director of Vogue, while continuing to oversee Vogue U.S. At the same time, Edward Enninful, the widely celebrated top editor at British Vogue, was promoted to European editorial director of Vogue for the markets owned and operated by Condé Nast, which include the U.K., France, Italy, Germany and Spain.

Despite Celine being sometimes very lacklustre and basic, I have and always will love Hedi. After Karl's death, he is the only designer left that has the balls. Someone who has been at the helm of three biggest fashion houses, who is against all the SJW bulls*it with all that size representation, not giving a f*ck about fashion journalists, creating arguably the most branded and immersive shows, taking Monaco stadium or THE Le Negresco hotel and just putting the CELINE sign over it?
Bisous, Hedi.

There was absolutely no reason for Vogue Paris to be reduced to a second rate "fashion" rag. It's the one magazine in France that can be elitist, high fashion, and exclusive. It's almost criminal for it not to be. At this rate Elle is going to kill this magazine in quality and readership. All I can say is that when this strategy Condé Nast vomited out blows up in their face it's going to be of their own doing.

More than Emmanuelle, I feel like it’s really about VP and what It represents in terms of iconography. This is the magazine of Newton and Bourdin, the image of a certain idea of Paris, a certain idea of frivolity or luxury. It’s not just one issue among others…
Tbh, at first I didn’t believed in the rumors because for me, it didn’t made sense at all for KERING, LVMH, RICHEMONT or CHANEL to let the title go like that.
There are brands that literally owes their success or rebirth to VP, their coverage and their editors. Balmain, Balenciaga, Isabel Marant, Givenchy…etc.

Sometimes I think Anna gave Alt a year to change VP direction, to be more inclusive, but It wasn't enough and she was fired. Is a theory. The global stuff started way before, with the first Vogue Values editions around the world.

I wish they made a boicot to Farneti and no one did it.

I think it's definitely a mild yet clear response to Conde Nast recently action, aka the centralization to NY office and making Anna the queen of the world.....
I mean literally, the publication wants the privileged white ppl to tell rest of the world what to do and what is right/wrong, which is so stupid and naive.
With the centralization, all the advertising and content final decisions are made by NY office, the advertisers don't even bother to talk to regional offices but to face the head office directly instead.
This gives the NY office an overwhelming power to bargain and take advantage of the situations, and eventually, may piss off the advertisers and readers.
Conde Nast is not expecting a long run, this is more like the last struggle before selling the company

At least we are not the only ones not happy (angry) with the centralization...once more advertisers join Celine and start to complain and boycott them, CN or sell the company or start to make a (new) change (again).
It was a mistake to do this to VP....The "smaller" markets were ok to be under one roof...Anna,Lynch with their egos and incapacities let them made a wrong move....
On the first trimester of 2022 we should see more changes...stay tuned...

Elle is owned by HEARST…
Thank you for the correction. Both have equally ruined what were great fashion magazines.
Incorrect. Go check their website. "a part of Hearst digital media"

Elle is doing great in most of the countries. Isn't that bad or bad at all. I love with my heart the local edition, I like it more than Vogue (Latam is very beautiful, but not a fan of some covers stars). In this year, 11 of 12 covers were with fashion models. US Elle (as other american magazines) must be the worst, but the mother publication is the French edition and it's a good one too.
