Yesterday, Gawker ran a photo of Lynn Yaeger, the fashion editor of the Village Voice and frequent Vogue contributor. Lynn’s style is absolutely eccentric, and some might even call it mad. She’s the American version of Anna Piaggi, easy to pick out in a crowd because of her deliberately dizzy wardrobe tactics.
Naturally, the Gawker crowd swiped the site with sharp comments.
Then this afternoon, something not so natural happened: Gawker banned all commentators who said mean Lynn things from posting on their site.
We were slightly shocked at the swift fashion justice, but Lynn is a living legend – even John Galliano paid her a few unconscious odes during his recent Paris show.
