When I stumbled across this picture I felt it was only fair that I share it with you all… it is one of the single most bizarre pics I have ever seen…The queen (bitch) of the fashion world Anna Wintour getting down with her bad self with none other than……………………. P Diddy!!! How random – Who knew she actually had a fun side?!
So, where did all this madness go down?
At the uber fabulous Met Ball – one of the biggest fashion events of the year… This year, Wintour was donned in an exquisite full length Chanel gown and embellished metallic silver jacket, also Chanel – it’s a known fact she rarely wears anything but…. Anywho, while on the subject of the well known ice queen (or in the politically correct words of Wikipedia the ‘emotionally distant’) Ms Wintour I thought it was only right to have a quick look at the fashion legend…
Anna Wintour OBE, editor-in-chief of American Vogue is regarded as the single most powerful person in the fashion world. A position she has held since 1988, Wintour’s word is quite literally taken as gospel in the fashion universe, and if a young designer gets the Wintour nod of approval you can pretty much be sure the designer will make it to the big league…
If you haven’t already seen The September Issue, I STRONGLY recommend you get viewing it ASAP, I’ve watched it at least ten times and I absolutely love it! Described as 1!!! The fly on the wall documentary gives us an inside view of how the fashion world really works- its total fashion porn! Not only do we get to witness the rigorous process of getting the biggest ever issue of Vogue being put together (Fall 2007), we see the tempestuous relationship between the fabulous Grace Coddington and Wintour; the uber camp Andre Leon Talley in head to toe Louis Vuitton tennis gear (I can’t help but adore that man); Wintour slating Oscar De La Renta’s work; bad mouthing Sienna Miller and single handily making young designer Thakoon’s career – throw in some ridiculously fabulous designer gear, some shuddering fashion assistants, John Galliano, John Paul Gautier, Vera Wang and Mario Testino for good measure and you’ve got the masterpiece that is The September Issue.
Renowned for her trademark bob, massive shades, glazed ice queen look, and typical unenthused folded arms pose while sitting front row at fashions weeks across the globe, Wintour has always been thronged with fascination and indeed controversy.. Among other things her pro fur stance, her somewhat elitist views towards fashion and beauty, and her notions on obesity (she reportedly called Oprah fat), have all meant that controversy and in turn huge media interest have always been part of her life. Wintour came into mainstream radar with the release of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ which was based on the book by her previous assistant Lauren Weisberger. With Meryl Streep playing the bitch from hell boss Miranda Priestly, ‘loosely’ based on Wintour…
Without a shadow of a doubt, we can be sure Anna Wintour will go down in fashion history and her legacy will long out live her.
