There’s been much chatter about whether Anna Wintour would resign from her helm as editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine. Ms. Wintour doused those rumors when she told the New York Observer, “I have no plans to leave American Vogue now or in the foreseeable future.” But, that has not hushed the critics, namely Cathy Horyn of The New York Times who in her “What’s Wrong With Vogue” article said:
“There are too many stories about socialites — or, at any rate, too few such stories that sufficiently demonstrate why we should care about these creatures. What once felt like a jolly skip through Bergdorf now feels like an intravenous feed. To read Vogue in recent years is to wonder about the peculiar fascination for the “villa in Tuscany” story. Ditto staff-member accounts of spa treatments and haircuts.”
Do you think Wintour has worn out her welcome at Vogue? Or, do you think she is a perfect fit for the socialite-craving zine? Either way, maybe you’d like to see the legendary editor in person and judge for yourself, if so, here’s where you can see and hear her up close.
