Anna Wintour Issue: Vogue EIC in Hot Water As Hundreds of Employees Plan To Protest
Despite being one of the biggest executives in the fashion industry, Dame Anna Wintour is not safe from any trouble as she's now facing hundreds of employees who are planning to protest against her and Vogue Magazine's "unethical practices;" what did they do?
According to Radar Online, the 72-year-old Editor-in-Chief has been doing her best to protect her legacy and make the popular fashion magazine more inclusive of people of color.
However, she's now facing hundreds of employees who alleged that the fashion legend and the magazine are not paying fairly as well as having poor working conditions.
Cortni Spearman, one of the union's spokespersons, alleged that the Conde Nast-owned company is using people of color to fulfill a "diversity quota."
In viral videos online, social media protesters can be seen expressing their feelings over the issue, saying they've been "burned out" and working "underpaid."
A source also revealed that Wintour is trying to cut ties with Condé Nast, the company she's working for, and acted as the Global Chief Content Officer.
"The idea she's not involved, given all the effort she has been putting in lately to make Vogue 'woke' is hard to swallow," the insider who claims to be from her camp said.
For the next protest, the source said London will be next.
At the time of this writing, Anna Wintour has not publicly commented on the matter.
Other Anna Wintour-Related Issues Within Vogue Magazine
The latest issue comes almost two years after Wintour apologized for her race-related mistakes over the previous decades while working for the company.
In an internal email sent to Vogue employees, the fashion mogul admitted that the magazine had not found enough ways to "elevate and give space" to Black content creators.
According to Forbes, Wintour also said the magazine had published images and stories that have been hurtful and intolerant.
She called for the issue to be a time to reflect and listen to the people and for those who are in positions of privileged to act accordingly.
The apology comes after a Condé Nast executive resigned over racial issues. Adam Rapoport, Bon Appétit magazine's editor-in-chief, stepped down from his position after old photos of him in brownface resurfaced online.
Refinery29's former editor, Christene Barberich, also resigned after numerous staff members alleged that they had experienced racial discrimination at the lifestyle company.
