Andre Leon Talley Says Anna Wintour is "Not Capable of Human Kindness"

[Yxilon 5,248]

I always felt Anna Wintour has a sort of frigidness and stiffness which does not really tune in the category "serious/professional" she just radiates a deficit of humanity.

Andre Leon Talley is THAT B

Spoiler

Somebody told me he has actually put the Alasia picture in his SALON

She has a movie based after her where her character in the movie is a total evil btch. 

It's not like that portrayal came from no where.

Vogue is about pushing consumerism through celebrity lifestyle and celebrity is all about image.

I'm sure the Kardashians are shrewdly aware of the image they've curated and obviously it's an image that sells magazines, and $300 plastic sunglasses in turn.

Celebrity is all about possibility. The Kardashians represent perfect predictability. The consumerism that they embody is as common as the cold. Their $300 plastics sunglasses are worn by people who wear fashion as a form of hiding rather than expression.

Yes they're being used for their image, but they're also dependent on Vogue to push their art. It's a double edged sword. 

Vogue degrades itself by pushing something devoid of intellect or any real talent.  

Okay well I wouldn't call romcom actresses or manufactured pop stars very intellectual in comparison to a reality TV personality, but if you want to sip the media kool aid that's up to you I guess. Different strokes.

The models who covered vogue exclusively for decades aren't artists or bringing anything intellectual. By their very nature they're modeling somebody else's vision. So the pretentious gesturing about artists on Vogue covers seems silly to begin with when the so called "artists" clearly contributed to Vogue shifting from fashion prestige to banana republic and scratch & sniff opium samples in the first place.

Seeing Liza Koshy and James Charles at the Met Gala made the event feel a little cheap tbh.

Vogue literally is full of advertisements for those $300 sunglasses and laser focused on consumerism, so I dont understand what point you're getting at other than the Kardashians are a perfect mascot for the publication in its modern form.

Ahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah

Okay as a former fashion model let me just say modelling is not at all easy. There is nothing easy about being in front of a camera, acting natural, and brining life to the vision/clothing/make-up. 

Modelling also requires a deep knowledge of exercise, diet, and self-restraint. You also need to be business oriented and savvy to be able to charm an artist to pick you out of a line up of identical looking people. 

Modelling is absolutely an art.

This point is further proven by Anna Wintour replacing Talley (a seasoned fashion exec, who has been in the industry for years and has a deep understanding of fashion, designers, and the craft) with Koshy (a Vine star who became famous for her "overly exaggerated facial expressions). 

It's spineless and degrading to those who work at their craft. 

Anna is dynasty building, just like Kris and her Kardashians clan. Their strategy seems to be to promote those without a clue and thus kill the competition. But what happens when these two behemoths have a conflict of interest? I can’t wait for their inevitable fallout. Their game only has room for one winner. Both will want to know who used who. That will be some ugly sh*t.

I think its more likely they'll formally marry their dynasties together to avoid any conflict....

Imagine (if you dare) one of the Kardashain/Jenners becoming Editor in Chief of American Vogue

Its not easy, but your job is to embody somebody else's vision, especially in the context of something like Vogue where everything is overproduced. 

If your basis for calling the Kardashians unworthy is saying they're unintellectual/not artful, it literally has nothing to do with the job once you get in front of the camera.

The Karadashians have no vision to present in front of the camera. there job is to be ordinary (as @Lord Temptation eloquently put) 

My job was to make somebody else's vision possible. It's the same as an architect and an engineer working together to make a building that is both stunning and within the realm of human physics. It requires carefully curated talent to walk that tight rope.

I’m actually terrified of this scenario, yet I find it almost plausible. The luxury industry is doomed.

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.

The luxury industry is at an all time high, its just lost a lot of the pretense of exclusivity.
