Anna Wintour is, inarguably, one of the most recognizable faces in fashion. According to Business of Fashion , following a move from her native England to New York, Wintour got her start Stateside working as a junior fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar. She then jumped from magazine to magazine and quickly rose through the editorial ranks, before being crowned editor-in-chief of British Vogue in For all her power and rank, however, Wintour seems to lack a penchant for building personal relationships.
At least, that's what the designers and celebrities listed below would tell you. The pair's feud began in after Gunn alleged in his book, Gunn's Golden Rules , that the most unforgettable fashion moment he's ever witnessed was Wintour being carried down five flights of stairs after a fashion show. Hurrying over to the elevators, he "looked over the stairway railing" to find that her two "bodyguards had made a fireman's lock and were racking her from landing to landing Four years later, Gunn confirmed to Page Six that "all hell broke loose" after the story went public, claiming that Wintour had demanded a retraction, which he refused.
I'm happy to have a bad relationship with it, because I wouldn't want to have a good one. In the lead up to the September release of his memoir, The Chiffon Trenches , Talley spilled the tea on his former boss. According to book excerpts obtained by Page Six , he claimed he was fired from his position as Vogue 's editor-at-large in because, "I had suddenly become too old, too overweight, too uncool. Talley painted a brutal picture of Wintour, writing that she allegedly didn't have "the decency and kindness" to call or email him about the firing: "Simple human kindness.
No, she is not capable. Maintain your dignity , I thought. Just keep it together until you can get out of here. It's not to be anywhere around me. I'm going to findout who's done this. Then later she made an off-camera announcement to her audience about how they shouldn't drink Diet Coke, either. She gave me a lecture in front of the audience about how bad Diet Coke is.
Something about the chemicals? I couldn't even focus on what she was saying because of how vehemently she was saying it. On Martha Stewart's relationship with her daughter, Alexis: Martha's daughter, Alexis Stewart, strikes me as one of the angriest people I have ever met. Alexis and I did a commercial together for Martha's Macy's line. Whoever was directing the commercial was wise enough to have Alexis and me do our lines together before bringing Martha in.
I was shocked that she could be so disrespectful toward her mother in front of total strangers. I also found it deeply ironic that the domestic goddess seems to have such an odd relationship with her daughter.
During one of our little breaks on the Macy's commercial set, Martha gestured to the piles of linens and towels from her new collection and said, "Alexis, any of this you want for your apartment, please take it. I want to give you a housewarming present. On presumably Padma Lakshmi , the host of "Top Chef. She told me that she was looking for a jewelry designer for her line and I said I would put my radar up and send her anyone I found who might be a good fit. Well, I found someone terrific Then I never heard back.

I have to assume she didn't really want my help after all, so I'll keep that in mind if she ever asks for anything again. On Andre Leon Talley, contributing editor for Vogue magazine, being hand fed grapes and cheese at a New York Public Library panel, instead of participating in a sound check with Gunn and the other panel participants: When we return to the greenroom, we see that someone has spread a translucent barber's bib over Andre and he's reclining, his arms at his sides.
I want a DNA test—how far are these women from wild animals? What do they take from this behavior? My advice is to take the high road. You'll never regret it.
