Is the famous Vogue boss Anna Wintour already being dismantled behind the scenes? This suggests a dispute with designer Isabel Marant.
It's about power, it's about intrigue, it's about one of the most important women in the fashion industry. Anna Wintour, of all people, the legendary and influential boss of "Vogue" is said to have been duped during the Paris fashion week.

It is possible that Anna Wintour has been working on the dismantling of Anna Wintour for a long time behind the scenes. Recently there were rumors that the 68-year-old lady with the strict bob and XL sunglasses wants to retire from the business after 30 years. Condé Nast, the publisher in which "Vogue" appears, denied this - but the sawing on the icon's chair cannot be ignored …
