Rumours abound Anna was holding out because everyone assumed Anna doesn’t really love Kim, and she was only invited to last year’s Met Gala because of Kanye.
Yet here it is. The April cover of US Vogue in all its glory. Kim looking beautiful in a Lanvin gown while Kanye cuddles his girl. Cute? Or not.
Not, according to fashion critics at many a fashion blog and the internet. I’ve never seen such debate about a cover!
The powers that be at Conde Naste sure kept it a great secret because nobody knew about this. For once there were no internet leaks, no whispers amongst interns to let this out.
There’s been so much talk since it came out that Anna Wintour has even released a statement explaining why she did it.
“Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it,” Wintour, 64, wrote. “I think we can all agree on the fact that that role is currently being played by Kim and Kanye to a T. (Or perhaps that should be to a K?)”
“As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it; you may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiance on Vogue’s cover. He did nothing of the sort,” she explained. “The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true.”
So there you have it. Like it or not, we’re talking about it. And isn’t that the point of a magazine cover?
We love Seth Rogan and James Franco’s take on it.
Do you love it? Would you buy it?
