Vogue “has no intention of” working with Kanye West again
A Vogue spokesman only told Page Six on Friday that neither the magazine nor its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour intend to re-engage with Kanye West after his anti-Semitic tirades and support for the White Lives Matter case.
72-year-old Wintour had a long and close relationship with the rapper who became a designer at the age of 45. She first invited him to her annual Met Gala in 2009, and her and ex-wife Kim Kardashian appeared on the cover in 2014 after their performance. wedding.
Just last month, Wintour modeled founder Yeezy’s new line of sunglasses in press photos posted to promote the eyewear – even after he publicly intimidated the Kardashians online about their children.
And then on October 4, Wintour sent her longtime close friend, Baz Luhrmann, to film the reconciliation between West and one of her editors, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, after mocking her fashion sense because she criticized him for wearing the White Lives Matter T -shirt at his fashion show in Paris.
But on Friday, sources told us that the fashion king is finally ready to release a Grammy winner after he made a series of mind-blowing threats against Jews and then aggressively doubled up when he had the opportunity to apologize.
“Anna has had enough,” the initiate told us, adding, “She made it clear in Vogue that Kanye is no longer part of the inner circle.”
It is not known exactly what this will mean in practice – whether, for example, Vogue’s website will simply feature photos of his fashion shows – but at least it looks like he will no longer be welcome at the Met Gala and that he will not be reappearing. on the cover of the magazine.
Also on Friday, haute couture fashion house Balenciaga said it would no longer be working with West.
