Check out the fashion week scandals that overshadowed the great clothes

After Anna missed the Giorgio show at Milan Fashion Week in 2014, the designer spoke out. And until he remembered his own Vogue editor-in-chief, many assumed he was referring to Anna. “There are some who prefer to skip the Giorgio Armani show and go to Paris,” he said. according to WWD. “She took a plane, dumped Mr. Armani and went to Paris.”

According to the publication, he then added: “Why do I always have to be a fool [translating from an Italian expletive] to be punished because of a man who, for better or for worse, like it or not, is in power? I feel punished. She said she was sending her people. But if you go to see your dentist and he puts you in the hands of his assistant, what is your reaction? They told me, “She went to see Privé in Paris; she doesn’t have time to look at ready-to-wear in Milan.” She is influential and powerful. But maybe I’m also influential.”

In a statement provided to WWD, Vogue Director of Communications Hildy Couric said: “Anna has great respect for Giorgio Armani and everything he has done for Italy and fashion worldwide.”

“Unfortunately, due to the fact that the fashion calendar has been going on for more than a month, there are some shows that Anna cannot attend,” the statement continued.
