Vogue is an institution. Anna Wintour is the IRL Devil who wears Prada. When I think of Vogue, I think of old school Sex and the City, I think of the era of the classic supermodel, I think of Chanel suits, I think of McQueen ball gowns, I think of the ideal of cutting edge splendor and luxury. Here are things that will be forever associated with Kim Kardashian: a sex tape, BeBe, and Sears.
Anna Wintour has stated on record that she regrets putting the Spice Girls on the cover in the late 90s. I understand that a lot of people hated that cover, and argued that the Spices were not representative of the Vogue ideal. I loved that cover, but then again I was 12 when that cover came out and my bedroom was plastered in Spice memorabilia. I am trying to be understanding here, but let's be honest, Victoria Beckham would rather gnaw off a foot than collaborate with Sears.
I'll be surprised if the Kardashian taint ever leaves. Here are some classic covers to mourn what used to be the authority on high-end fashion and luxury. #RIP
[I know it's a Paris cover, but I've seen this image before and I adore it.] |
[I remember seeing this issue on the newstand and thinking Madonna as Evita was so glam.] |
[Of course I have to include this one.] |
