The problem is not that she is a woman in a position of power that has been criticized. The question we should be asking ourselves is whether or not she promotes a toxic working environment. We can argue that if she was a man no one would care what she does to get results, but I think we've moved away from that kind of thinking. Otherwise, Ellen's show, for example, would not have been canceled.

[@jm7804]

I think it goes well beyond tough. She's downright rude and that is well documented. She blackballs people and that is also well documented. Watch any Tim Gunn interview where she gets brought up. He tells it like it is regarding Anna. If you're going to be a public figure, style icon, and an ambassador of fashion, then you need to have some people skills. We need a lot more people with creative vision, which she definitely has in abundance. We don't need any more rude people though. We already have that in abundance.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

The detail I love about Miranda Priestly’s character is that they always show her working in the scenes. Because people outside of the offices of creative fields like a fashion magazine are unaware of the work that’s needed to produce art, journalism, and fashion. For people who are naive, they probably think that working at a magazine is just sitting around. Nope. It’s an organization. Very business environment that deals with art, journalism, and fashion.

[@orangefruit12]

not to mention the amount of workload these people in the fashion industry are required to do. In most jobs, professionals are required to do tasks one at a time. In the fashion industry, the people there, especially in huge organizations, tend to work on multiple projects and tasks at the same time and they have to ALWAYS plan and organize sharply everything ahead in details otherwise the flow gets ruined. Not to mention the extreme competition that is constantly going on in the fashion industry. It is also a very open career field because social skills and confidence is needed especially if you have no connections to rely on. Most people don't understand how complex the fashion industry is and complain and criticize when they themselves consume the very fashion and trends from the same industry. Such hypocrites people. I mean I am also well aware of the toxicity in the fashion industry but times are slowly changing and for somethng so big and loud it's not always easy to fix problems. Plus the fashion industry also have its positive contribution (like in music and other creatives) in some aspects especially that arts have its share of domination in almost all parts of the globe.

[@tigerlilly9038]

OMG!!! The turnaround time is craaaaaaaazy 🥴

[@PriHL]

@@orangefruit12 yes, because only in the oh-so-special fashion industry people are required multitasking and working on different projects simultaneously, lol. This is simply not true and shows what a bubble it is. I think it should be a requirement for every high-position fashion person to give back to the least fortunate in whatever way. There is a lot to do. This would maybe in some cases not make them hold their snooty noses that high. This industry extremely toxic, it destroys not only people's mental health but the planet and has gaslit generations of women into eating disorders, body dysmorphia and low self esteem and it's been only a few years in which voices to overturn this agenda can be heard. Also, the work individual people in this industry are now trying to do to turn this around and give people the confidence they need, is something that should be more emphasised. But you need psychology for that, not of the self proclaimed sort but of the clinical, based on research sort. Calling people hypocrites for not having in depth knowledge about this industry only shows what kind of self serving bubble it is. Everyone needs to wear something, so inevitably they will have "consumed" one or two trends. Statements like these are exactly what allows it to go on as before and actually stunt the development in a better direction. Fashion in itself is positive, the problem lies within people with certain personality styles that it attracts. But fashion is a brilliant thing and not what those people tell us in order to lift their egos by demeaning others.

It shouldn't be for the sole purpose of destroying someone's confidence or motivation. A true leader/boss understands that.

A lot of comments are in favor of Anna Wintour, and I get that. She worked hard to get to where she is, and she has a confidence that's admirable and necessary to be great leader/editor-in-Chief. However, she seems very tone-deaf about the working class. When Letterman was grilling her (maybe "grill" isn't the most appropriate verb, here) on how people can be fashionable on a budget, all Wintour could come up with was "All the celebrities we can find are going to go to Macy's and talk about fashion." Even if Wintour said, "That's a great question, and it's a problem that still plagues the fashion industry," I would have respected her answer more. That's why I can't really look up to Anna Wintour. I'm not poor by any stretch of the word, but my clothes come straight from Amazon, Target, Walmart, or something within that price range, because I simply cannot afford to shop luxury brands. Sure, you can be fashionable whilst wearing clothes that aren't Gucci/Prada/Michael Kors, but I think Letterman was getting at, how do you afford haute couture? Also, Macy's, at least where I'm from, is considered more upscale. Sure, they have a clearance section, and in the mail, I'll get coupons from Macy's, but you're still paying more on average.

[@emilbrown7569]

I agreee with this comment a lot but i also think of fashion at the level she works at to really be considered art. Everyone can't afford to buy Jackson Pollocks, Basquiats, or really any originals from living proclaimed artists. The best of the best in any art form, to me, should be very exspensive. Where it gets murky is how they consider "the best" sometimes, ya know the politics of it all. I also think being fashionable and being stylish can be different things. You have to have money to be fashionable but not to be stylish.

@@emilbrown7569 Yeah, I can see that her brand is more exclusive and that she has a right to cater to the upper class. However, is the 1% primarily watching daytime (or late-night) television?

However, why come on live TV and then talk about haute fashion, and getting people to try to "aspire" to be part of haute fashion? The viewers watching this segment cannot afford that lifestyle, so this segment just alienates who Wintour is trying to win over.

Personally I always wanted to know how she took the Devil Wears Prada so that was cool.

Funny how the host mentioned about older people being in the higher echelons of organizations. When I first saw DWP, I realized why Miranda was indispensable to the magazine when, on several occasions, she mentioned that the idea being proposed by younger and newer people on her staff had been seen and done years ago and not really the "new" and "groundbreaking" that her staff thought. I just finished watching an episode of Season 1 of a 2009 TV series called Community where the lead character mentioned a 1991 Canadian TV series called Degrassi High. When I Googled Degrassi High, it mentioned the issues that the 1991 series touched on. When I mentioned it to my 20 year old niece, she said that it was like 13 Reasons Why. Even in music, the character in the movie Senior Year mentioned that "Madonna is Lady Gaga now(?). Maybe younger people needed to be reminded that things they think that are "new" and "groundbreaking" might not be so. Well, except for technology, of course.

I think broader demographics have moved away from the likes of Vogue, and that industry won’t care much because their investment is in that clique that have a lot of money to spend, they’re in their own bubble and they can float that way.

[@FRANCESCOBERGOMI]

@@surfwriter8461 I beg to disagree with you, dear. It seems to me that Anna loosens up for once, actually being more human instead of playing a role. She also laughs at Dave's jokes (which are so good here - especially the one about his socks and when he asks her if she's ever put anyone in a headlock). It also kinda feels like there's a bit of sexual energy going on here. Plus: nice to see Dave finally talk about Fashion😊.

[@surfwriter8461]

@@FRANCESCOBERGOMI Well, at least now you've explained what you find so appealing about this interview. You may be right that she's trying to be "looser" in the interview, which I suspect is a conscious attempt to counter the negative impression of her from the film "The Devil Wears Prada" and other sources. Your statements strike me as impressions that are projected or wishful thinking more than reality, however. She seems awkward and stiff to me, suggesting she doesn't know how to be a likable human unless she considers you worthy of her presence. She laughs at some of Dave's comments, yes, but awkwardly. I don't sense any "sexual energy" in this exchange, but maybe you are projecting that energy, too. I do find Dave more solicitous that I would expect, as I said. He also doesn't really "talk about Fashion". (I didn't know that Fashion gets capitalized because it is a transcendent being of a field.) He makes a lame remark about fashion shows featuring alien looking outfits on the models, which she could have easily corrected, especially when he says they aren't really outfits for women to wear, are they? Wintour could have educated him by explaining many runway shows present clothing that is for spectacle or one-of-a-kind couture rather than ready to wear clothing, and what the value of that is. She could also have said many shows present fashion as artistic expression for women, something that would have helped the audience understand and appreciate fashion described in that way. Finally, am I really your dear, or do you mean deer, as in "deer in the headlights"? On a related matter, I consider the European custom of kissing people on either cheek pretentious and stupid as well as a bit unhygienic. If I greet someone I don't know or hardly know at all, the idea of kissing their cheeks is ridiculous. But something tells me Anna Wintour does a lot of that.

[@FRANCESCOBERGOMI]

@@surfwriter8461 Love your comment. Nice to see someone taking the time to articulate their thoughts. You're right on this: could very well be me projecting that sexual energy indeed, though. Maybe because I find her really beautiful (I have a thing for mature women, I must confess), and I love the back-and-forth between the two of them. And Dave looks really cool here. Not sure she needs to counter any negative impression of herself, regardlessly of any movie actually: I believe she feeds off of it and she revels in it. As for educating him (or the audience at large): yes, that could have been an option, but this is a late night talk show still, not a Business Of Fashion panel or a TED Talk. The "dear" thing: yes, dear as in "my dear", I learnt that as a courtesy when living in England. Sounds nice to me. The kissing on the cheeks: tell me about it LOL (I'm Italian). I agree with you if you do that with someone you don't know or hardly know. But otherwise I kinda enjoy it - although not as much as hugging someone 🥰.
