I'd have to say the the $25,000 dress is a Balmain too. Their prices are exorbitant ($2500 for a pair of bleached jeans) and the quality/look not that stunning to deserve it.
"Anna Wintour, the greying éminence grise of fashion"?
I'm sure that what you really meant to say here was "the blonding éminence immortelle of fashion," right? I know she seems a touch friendlier and more conciliatory these days, but I wouldn't push it, you know?
Actually, she is so blonde here she appears to be channeling...Carol Channing?
Is it that horrid Balmain dress Jennifer Connelly wore a while back? The one that was just featured in this month's Vogue as an example of the shoulder pad trend? And all of the featured clothes were from Balmain so OBVIOUSLY it's just a Balmain thing, not a trend? That one?
@Sandicomm: Balmain is the obvious candidate -- and good catch on the Olivier Theyskens, too. But I seriously doubt Anna Wintour would call either "some unnamed designer." (I took that to mean "some no-name designer.") Especially given she's a famous booster of Theyskens' work.
The angry gardener: I got too angry to work in media when I was a little bit younger than Citizen Anna, and I've been gardening ever since. Does wonders for the rages.
am I the only one that things the whole "selling a magazine and then putting it on the net for free" is a poor business decision?
i never understood it. i mean, i simply will not buy something if i can get it for free online...no wonder newspapers and magazine are losing revenue.
heres a thought - do as the NYTimes does: allow a reader to get a limited amt of articles and then stop them from viewing until they pay a subscription! sheesh, this isnt rocket science people.
@junkyardarts: That model did not work for the Times or the WSJ. Not my fault either, I paid both papers just to support them. I feel really sorry for print dinosaurs and have a certain sentimental fondness. But that's as far as it goes.
@krismry: I know this isn't print, but for awhile CNN tried charging for their video content and that didn't work either. You could easily get the same information somewhere else.
We're about to dump our print edition of the Los Angeles Times. We don't read it enough and it's wasteful considering we read all of the news online.
I think Wintour is right that there is a lot of over-reacting. The scare news pieces about the economy are making things worse by making the consumer too scared to buy and therefore no money is going back into the economy. This needs to stop. Times are hard, but this is not the great depression.
@nyc-caribbean-ragazza: So I'm not crazy! I thought that's where I'd seen that name before, but I haven't been paying attention to that stuff for a long time.
Also: this Rennick character seems pretty savvy. Good on you for recognizing that the "internet" isn't a competing publication, it's a mode of publication.

Also - it looks like hell on Jennifer Connelly. And you'd think nonething could look bad on that lady!
