“No one would bother disputing the assertion that Wintour is the most powerful person in fashion, and that she exerts her power in a variety of directions, beyond editorial decisions. But what’s the impact of all that power? And, more, what’s the downside?” —Cathy Horyn, on Anna’s “60 Minutes” segment.
Honestly, one of the things that we found most revealing from Anna’s long-awaited 60 Minutes interview is that Morley Safer seems to be a bit of a hater.
Not of Anna, per se, but the fashion world in general.
We understand this is not his normal beat. But sit downs with the likes of Nicolas, Karl, and Galliano are not handed out lightly…and should be respected, Mr. Safer.
His voice-overs were way snarky. Deriding Karl for choosing what he called the “Dracula look” this season and stating that Galliano looks like he needs a better tailor!
Morley, what did the fash flock do to make you so surly?
On a separate note, from now on we will rather enjoy thinking of Anna as a doctor doling out stoic medical analysis at 4 Times Square, per Andre’s comparison. Hanging up layouts like x-rays and slicing up stories, hiding all personal emotion from her scared patients, er, editors.
What did you guys think of the piece?
“It’s only slightly less dangerous than covering wars. In Milan, it was about the same as covering Vietnam.” - Morley Safer, on his first encounter with Fashion Week, to the Times.
The Balenciaga show is famously impossible to get into - even Fashion Week addict Kanye West was publicly denied entry a couple seasons ago.
But guess who does get to go? According to The Moment, 60 Minutes anchorman Morley Safer will be sitting Front Row and center alongside Anna, as part of his ongoing profile on Mrs. Vogue.
Hopefully, no standing editors feelings will be hurt.
