Fashionista is a classy publication that gets invites to events held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art while we here at Four Pins are left with our dicks in our hands, blogging in the everlasting glow of our monitors. At the most recent classy event, they spoke to Anna Wintour, general fashion goddess and Editor-in-chief of Vogue. Let's be real, the most important piece of this interview is the fact that they had the gall to ask her why she in her right mind would put Kim and Kanye on the cover earlier this year. Her reasoning is long and not much of a real answer, but here it is anyway because, like, of course you wanna read about anything even remotely related to our one, true lord and savior, Kanye Omari West:
I see the role of Vogue to reflect what’s going on in the culture. The first celebrity that I put on the cover of Vogue was Madonna, and that was considered completely controversial at the time, too. It’s such a long time ago probably no one remembers, but she was a very controversial figure. Now she’s part of the establishment. I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover, it would be a rather boring magazine! Nobody would talk about us. It’s very important that people do talk about us. Going back to Estée Lauder’s decision to make Kendall Jenner the face of Estée Lauder. What a fantastic decision that was! They have a wonderful brand that’s very traditionally American, and they decided they want to shake it up and reach a different audience. Now and again one has to do things like that. I think it’s part of the excitement and part of being a journalist. I hope another Kim Kardashian comes along this year!
She wants people to talk about Vogue! And Kimye was an easy way to do so! Bingo! Right on the money! Mission accomplished! Thanks, Anna! You proved us right once again!
