The mayoral election is less than a week away, and it'll be a big one for New York City residents. After three terms under Michael Bloomberg, a new administration will be an adjustment, if not a major change. And while crime, stop-and-frisk, education, and the current administration's nemeses—sugary beverages—are issues of frequent discussion (and contentious, snark-filled mayoral debates), there's another topic affecting the local economy and industry that's worth discussing, especially now: the future of New York City's fashion industry under new leadership.

Those Anna Wintour Ambassadorship Rumors Will Never Die
We'll admit it seems pretty obvious (especially given her lastest hire) that Anna Wintour will continue to have a hand in politics while fulfilling her role as Condé Nast's artistic director and Vogue's editor in chief. But it seems certain that she's not going to be an ambassador. At least not anytime soon.

Was Anna Wintour killing two birds with one stone at the Paris couture shows today? Despite her heavy involvement in Barack Obama's reelection campaign, Wintour was front row at Raf Simons' highly-anticipated second Dior couture show in Paris during today's Inauguration.
