Anna Wintour on CBS 60 Minutes Video Watch Online
My love for Anna Wintour was reinforced, thanks to her feature on last night's 60 Minutes. I would love to embed the video but CBS has a bloody problem with autoplay. I tried to modify the code by disabling it but it didn't work for some strange reason.
There are two things I dislike about this feature. First, I don't like how Morley somewhat made a mockery out of the characters in fashion. Was it REALLY necessary to point out the outsider's view of the fashion world? I found it so offensive how he used terms such as "part rocky horror show" (cue Gareth Pugh), "clothes fit for a cadaver" and "campy followers" (cue the iconic Anna Piaggi). It's funny alright but I don't think he's doing the industry a favour by mocking them. I'm sure he could do a better job making the American public understand what the industry is about: to inspire, to dress outside your comfort zone, to think outside the box, to express ourselves creatively...
Second -- I find it so tedious that the media ALWAYS, ALWAYS references The Devil Wears Prada when doing something on Anna. So a former Vogue staffer wrote a book based on her experiences and the movie became a hit, yes. But any Editor, or boss for that matter, could be as (or even be MORE) demanding or hardcore as the character portrayed. Can't Anna get a reprieve for a change?
Anyway, I think I'm alone in saying this but I really do have this voice at the back of my head that says Anna is truly a nice person. She may look tough on the outside (as part of her job) but in reality, I'm sure she's a real softie. Again, maybe it's just me. What do y'all think?
