We Are Witness : Vogue Sells It’s Soul to the NBA
The NY Post reported today that Miss Wintour spent the night courtside with at the Knicks game. No she wasn’t meeting with fellow devil boss, Isiah Thomas, she was courting the very bankable (also see over-exposed) Lebron James for an upcoming photo shoot with Giselle Bundchen. I’m sorry, did I miss something? While I have come to expect Vogue to compete with US Weekly on the regular by overdoing the celebrity thing a few times too many, I didn’t realize they we’re heading into Sports Illustrated territory just yet.
This is just another sign that Vogue has completely lost touch with it’s core values. I’m sure the issue will be filled with the type of advertisers that would be attracted to a big name like Lebron James (Nike, Escalade, Jacob the Jeweler), which will most likely garner Miss Wintour another great year end bonus, but do we really have to accept the Cavalier as a fashion icon?
