The Bezos-Sánchez wedding is rewriting the fashion rules. And there’s nothing the outgoing Vogue editor can do about itHow neat that Anna Wintour’s resignation as editor-in-chief of American Vogue should occur bang in the middle of Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’s wedding extravaganza in Venice. Top takeout? Anna’s revolution is over. She lost. Not personally, of course – she accrued significant riches herself, and her name is literally hewn into stone over a chunk of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Just don’t call her Ozymandias! But the things she represented are over, and nothing illustrates it in quite such withering fashion as the gathering on the Grand Canal of Instagram’s apex predators.Don’t worry – this isn’t going to be another article over-egging the fact that someone has unfurled some protest banner or something on a Venetian church. Very little needs refreshing quite as desperately as the eat-the-rich genre, which has started to feel even smugger than the sup...

28 h. ago Anna Wintour: ‘queen of fashion’ steps away from American Vogue editor

Wintour has been both King Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell, commanding power while pulling strings behind the scenesThe departure of Anna Wintour as editor-in-chief of American Vogue leaves a bigger absence in the fashion world than would be left by the departure of any designer or supermodel.For more than three decades, Wintour has held the official title of editor-in-chief of American Vogue – and an unofficial, but widely acknowledged, title of queen of fashion.

3 w. ago Haunted couture: dressing like a ghost has captured the zeitgeist

From Dior and Chloé to Australia’s runways, a spectre is haunting fashion. But is it a sign of resignation or rebellion?“The look of the summer is going to be kind of haunted,” wrote fashion editor Rachel Tashjian in her newsletter, Opulent Tips, this April. Without a crystal ball – or holding a seance – she couldn’t have known Dior’s Resort 26 collection would be made up of spectral gowns and accompanied by a film featuring ghosts called Les Fantômes du Cinéma. And yet, here we are.In Rome, for her final show with Dior on 28 May, Maria Grazia Chiuri issued female attendees an all-white dress code (men were asked to dress in black), then each look on the runway at the 18th-century Villa Albani Torlonia was more ethereal than the last.
