Okay now you're just being absurd  Kim modelled for a few photoshoots and did an okay job of selling her ig baddie billionaire image. I guess that makes her just as much Picasso and Einstein as you are.

As somebody who just didnt sleep last night because of a project for my engineering degree, years into studying, I'm offended that youd even insinuate these things.💀Making a specific image for yourself takes extreme dedication, that's not the same as talent and neither of those things are replacements for proper education. 

Look at the expression on Adriana's face. All the emotion it posses, the image it sells, the feelings it stirs. 

and then, there's this 

Yes modelling is not the same as having an education, because modelling is not something that can be taught. You are either born being able to own a camera or not.

Is there a reason you instantly ran to an ugly, cropped, over processed outtake looking picture? Could you be trying to overcompensate for something?

If you've read Tim Gunn's first book or seen Andre Leon Talley on TV, you know that he's just as absurd and over the top as she is. And Wintour has always had a reputation as an ice queen, so no big revelations here.

What did Gunn say about him?

also its literally the cover image for a shoot for Richardson Magazine lmao...so clearly they thought it was her best.

Not sure why you're so intent on proving modelling is easy, maybe theres something more personal going on here for you?

Modelling is easy when you look beautiful

I was intent on pointing out that Vogue has always been low brow. It was you who ran to quote a dramatized novel then talk about the supreme artfulness of action movie stars and models as compared to the lowly billionaire superstar KKW.  Don't deflect how obviously deeply personal this topic is for you onto me. I'm not the one who said that models are the same as engineers and that Kim Kardashian is below both of those because of my inferiority complex.

I was just here to talk about the obvious misogynist tone of the newest wave of Anna Wintour hit pieces, and the willingness of everybody in the world to use her up then attack her for attention when she isn't useful to them anymore.

lmao @ y'all disregarding her abuse because "he could've left" "she's a strong woman everyone wants to tear down"

Ok and I guess Kesha could've just not signed the album deal with Dr Luke?? everyone in the world with abusive bosses should just LEAVE! Genius brand new idea

This is somebody who had a noted close working partnership with Anna Wintour for decades before leaving the minute she took him out of the public eye and going on to attack her to sell books. Wintour's reputation had been well established before he returned to Vogue in the 90s and he stuck by her side. 

Now that you mention it though, I do see parallels to that situation though. Lashing out with gross exaggerations for attention at somebody everybody is willing to believe bad things about, because they didn't let you make the career moves you wanted.

They chose the lowest common denominator over the exceptional. It’s such a shame. She really breathed fresh air into the industry in 1988 when she first became editor of Vogue, and maintained the utmost standard for maybe her first two decades. But since the global recession of 2008 it all went downhill. Pure unashamed pandering to the highest bidder. 

Her choices since then have been questionable to say the least, i cannot believe Karlie Kloss has never had a solo US Vogue cover even though she's the closest thing to a super model we have today yet Kendall Jenner has.

They were at an event together, and Talley had one of his assistants feed him a snack by hand, he demanded to park his car inside the building even though there was no parking garage, and he was generally being a diva about following protocol for the event.
