The Annotated Anna Wintour

• Tweet

Hey did you catch the Anna Wintour painting at Fashion Week by artist Geoffrey Raymond?

Here’s the before:

Raymond said of the work:

“I usually paint Wall Street movers and shakers, but I’m having a Fashion Week moment and have been gathering annotations on my portrait of Anna Wintour outside Bryant Park this week. Interesting the amount of people who obviously want to write something but aren’t comfortable doing so. Meanwhile, a man from Vogue dropped by and said, “Anna’s not going to like this.” I told him I didn’t understand why not—the painting is relatively flattering and most of the comments are nice enough. He just shook his head.”

And here is the end result:

Comments included:

—”Love you or hate you, they all have an opinion of you. Own it!”
—”You look great without the sunglasses”
—”Hi Anna—I want a pass to the Vogue party”
—”All is fair in love and war”
—”I think the table of contents should be at the front of the magazine. Who’s got time?”
—”Enjoy the moment ’cause that’s how it is. Aliona Doletskaya will eat your lunch.”
—”Scaaary!!”
—”Relax Anna. Don’t be too serious!!”
