Giorgio Armani attacks Vogue's Anna Wintour
The Italian designer Giorgio Armani set fashion tongues wagging after he criticised the industry's reigning queen Anna Wintour.
Speaking at a press conference to promote the upcoming Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition Superheroes, which he is co-chairing with Ms Wintour, Mr Armani said he could not understand why so many people dislike the US Vogue editor, claiming he was "indifferent" to her.
Not content to leave it at that, Mr Armani detailed what he thought sparked this dislike, referring to her championing of the US and French fashion industries and alleged lack of support for Italian fashion.
Standing with Ms Wintour, who supposedly once declared the Armani era over, he said: "I was told she said that, I hope that she didn't," according to reports in The Guardian.
Distancing himself further from his co-chair, he said they had different taste in clothes.
It was not immediately clear what inspired Mr Armani to break ranks with the traditionally more subtle air-kissing and back-stabbing atmosphere of the fashion world by criticising the industry's most powerful journalist to her face, but Ms Wintour's recent request that Italian designers group their shows more closely together to help US editors save money was not met with joy.
The top Milan shows once stretched over seven days but have now been compressed into four, leaving some lesser-known designers unable to attract top international editors to their shows.
Ms Wintour, whose dragon-like image was caricatured and brought into the mainstream in the film The Devil Wears Prada, based on a thinly-veiled roman à clef written by her former assistant, wields significant power in the fashion world and is often the brunt of criticism.
English-born Ms Wintour, who projects an image of fierce calm from behind her large sunglasses and sleek bob, has dominated the fashion industry for nearly two decades.
Mr Armani's work will appear alongside designs from John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler and others in "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy", a show that highlights the use of comic book imagery in fashion design. The exhibition opens in New York in May - assuming the co-chairs are still speaking to each other.
Bringing The Pretty
The Return of Pambo
For a "Fashion editor" she sure has had the same tired out hairstyle long enough hasn't she. And her choice of clothes does suck. You would expect more from someone who claims to be what she likes to claim herself to be.
I interned for Anna Wintour for 6 months before she broke me down with her blatant insults and disrespect, and in the end the bitch won because I walked away from the fashion industry. No wonder most of the designers and models are coke heads. With devils like AW, who wouldn't need to live in a drug induced stupor.
please step down from the throne u dont deserve. your dress and fur is an outfit i would never wear. nasty.
dis beeyoch gots a giantic nose and a haggard face…….i dont give two fucks about her and i think her fashion sense sucks……. iiittttttaaaaaaallllllllliiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
wow. at first glance, I thought that was Fergie.
So, Armani won't be doing much advertising in Vogue in the near future.
She is a dead animal wearing cunt. Die, bitch, die!
she's a neurotic self absorbed person who needed to be confronted a long time ago, if anybodys era should be over its hers.
Who cares????
I think she's an idiot attempting to get press. People buy Vogue, some people care about Vogue… but overall, when she leaves her house or office — she tends to look like a wealthy bag woman. Look at this picture. There is no thought in her outfit. She looks like a gawdy Jewish woman. The purple in there is disgusting. What's with the hair? Note to Anna: time for a new look.
I think longer hair would give her a softer look. The bob highlights her wrinkles and sharp, pointy features. It ages her even more.
Anna, you are desired by all. Delicate features not to be forgiven, nor do you request it. The skin of a baby lamb and the carriage of your dowager queen. Caring is beauty, your motto precedes you. Style contrar, do I dare….beloved by the masses your heartlight shines through. Make another dream, bestow your dignity upon. Anna, oh Anna, compassion pales when sitting next to you. ANNA.
WHOA IS THAT FERGIE!
??
Dreadful coat!
You know, I never notice this, but Anna Wintour looks just like Fergie…wow
Re: Aimée – oh snap…. lol your so right

Re: LYING FOOL – How do u know she is lying?
Re: Rob – WTF?
Perez! why do you always talk about people no one really knows? i mean forrealzzzz
do you even read these comments? LOVES YA PEREZ!
This should have happened a long time ago.

Generally I don't like Armani's clothes because he seems to design clothes for women that are too masculine. Or clothes for women that are straight up and down with very little or none at all princess seaming. Armani is a big enough name to criticize Anne without having to worry about the repercussions though.

People don't forget that Anne dislikes heavy people. Andre Leon Talley said that on Oprah's show and Wintour made Winfrey diet before she would allow Oprah to be the cover feature of Vogue magazine.
As much as she is considered a fierce bitch, who else could take her place? Who has more charisma and strong connections with all the arrogant, pain in the ass to deal with designers than she does!? People say she's been in the industry for far too long but if she was just a stupid bitch with no tastes in fashion, then how could she stay this long!? If anyone is qualified to do her job, I would love to see how Perez could do it.
Britsh Bitch- all British girls are bitches, I lived in London for a yr. I know whats up!!!
Schnozzola !
Anna Wintour is the epitome of fashion.. FOREVER! I love her much
anna is an orrible fucking bitch! she thinks that in italy we need her fucking magazine, but it isn't! vogue america is horrible !
w armani, the king!
anna wintour is an ugly bitch!!!! how does ugly tell people whats cool? don't get it!!!!!
Re: FIRST – Sono spiacente. But You Are Second.
Oh no she didn't.
And BTW, all she's missing is a mask and she's the new bear in the big blue house! Yay, kids!
Re: Michelle – "No one takes American fashion seriously, so she doesn't matter anyway." ??? You must be kidding. Everyone from every other country takes Every Single Bloody American thing-everylittlethinghoney-very, very seriously and that just grates on Every Single Non-American to the bone. The end.
Perez, i don't think you understand what Armani actually said. 'Indifference' is more akin to 'doesn't give a shit about' rather than 'dislikes.' He doesn't care whether AW lives or dies because she does nothing to promote Italian fashion. So he doesn't adore her, nor does he loathe her. She is irrelevant to him.
Actually I think that there was a misunderstanding due to an erratic translation from italian to english. Saying "lei è indifferente per me" (she's indifferent to me) means that i think that there's nothing wrong with her… Definitely far from an offense..
E' solo una grande stronza !
Anna Wintour appears to have a severe anal retention problem which has developed from having too much power in the fashion industry.
She's just a hideous person. I'm not a PETA nut or anything but fur is disgusting and this woman swathed in it is even sicker. She just looks wretched with all that dead animal all over her. Roadkill Wintour is OVER. She's looks like a cartoon, is hardly a *journalist* and Armani has more fashion sense in his little toe than this bitch. Hey Anna, just because your clothing is inaccessible doesn't make it PRETTY.
I would have thought she'd have been bashed for wearing the fur coat that contained how many skins of dead animals, but I didn't see that mentioned anywhere in the article….
She got the editor job because she fucked some really rich and powerful guy in fashion industry. And she thinks she is all that. PLEASE!
the armani era isn't over…he is and always be associated classic luxury. Wintour knows her shit though, no argument there
Re: blondie – "Animals" Killer? Bad grammar is far more offensive than animal cruelty.
Re: Mirta – What a stupid, unqualified, statement. Perhaps they were bitchy due to your butchery of their language?
i dont understand why people like anna wintour are so critical, e.g. the devil wears prada.
who is she to say that your top or dress is ugly? what makes HER so much better than you? the fact that she edits vogue magazine so she "knows" fashion. i just don't get it..
GOOD SHE REMINDS ME OF THE WITCH IN "THE WINTER OF THE WITCH"
ewwww.. first offf **cough** **cough** FUR HAG!!
Mr. ARMANI is a GENIUS. He is a complete gentleman, and a class act. Wintour is awful as an editor, and a person.
Yea, she is a hideous fur wearing wench. www.furisdead.com.
The fur ads you might see in magazines and commercials portray fur coats as a symbol of elegance. But these ads fail to show how the original owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths.
Millions of fur-bearing animals including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beavers, muskrats, otters, and others are killed each year on fur farms by anal and vaginal electrocution and in the wild by drowning, trapping, or beating. Charming.
Look chic in TRUELY gorgeous style; GO VEGAN and CRUELTY FREE!
Is that my neighbor's cat you're wearing? Gross. Selfish animal killer.
i dont particular like her … but to be honest armani sucks, its lifeless and uniform everytime. Its 's promoted by celebrities and people who have not a clue of real fashion. its very boring.
NoT a fan of Ms NuclearWinter (Anna). but gotta say she's correct on the Armani slide….bye bye Giorgio.
I don't understand the people here who hates her. Or, well, I understand the ones who ae against the use of real fur, you have good motives. But for instance that god damned idiot who proclaimed that Wintour was unqualifies for the jobs (After two decades on the post) because she doesn't have a better degree than high school! God damn. I mean, seriously, not all can afford better schools for different reasons. Anna has shown that she's competent in her work, how else do you think she would have gotten the job and kept it for so long? Is that just a fluke? No, seriously, you're retarded if you call her unqualified because of that. And more? You're a digusting snob if you on think that people are worthy of good jobs if they could afford going to good schools. Try and see what it's like to have to work early in your life and not have the possibilities to go to school, you spoiled idiot!
Anna Wintour (like Armani) has the street cred to say and do what she wants. Let her be a bitch. She bit, scratched, and fought her way to the top to be what she is.
Go ahead, girl. Let your claws out and the fur fly!
The Devil Wears…
a baby bear as a shawl?
I don't know why everyone worships her, she's had the same style for so long now it's boring and she's a bit sour-faced!
American Vogue Magazine is a little too boring for me. I reads like an elderly gay man and his mother write it, with a few contributions from their young, creatively anemic, trust fund niece.
She´s a cruel, heartless, ignorant bitch. I can´t wait for the day she goes away forever.
She is using fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur!….she deserves that someones takes her skin of xD…not only she looks ugly but she is evil!
