Devil Wears Prada lathes Tim Gunn
Anna Wintour Calls Naomi Campbell “A Joy” But Loathes Tim Gunn. Fashion Is A Bizarro World
We’ve always loved Tim Gunn for his candor and class on Project Runway,
but he’s been stirring up the fashion world lately with a book he wrote
which reveals some juicy tidbits about fashion’s queen bee, Anna Wintour.
Gunn has been making the rounds this Fashion Week to promote Gunn’s Golden Rules,
which contains a story about how he witnessed Wintour being carried
down five flights of stairs at a fashion show. That he would publicly
call out Wintour for her diva-like behavior
made her so angry she demanded he retract the story, but he refused
explaining that it was 100% true and he wasn’t the only witness. He
included the story in the book, he says, not because she was carried,
but because she made such a stink about being outed for it “Accept
responsibility for your own behavior. If you’re going to be carried down
five flights of stairs, own up to it,” he said on Live! with Regis and Kelly earlier in the week.
Today in Page Six, Gunn
was asked what he would do if he saw Wintour at Fashion Week this week,
to which he replied “Lord knows hell would freeze over if I came face
to face with her here, but I probably wouldn’t be able to see past her
handlers.” In addition, Gunn told WWD
“I had friends and colleagues say, ‘You’ll never be invited to a
dinner party again.’ My response was ‘Hallelujah!’” Could not love him
more.
What’s ironic to us is how Wintour is upset with Gunn for being a
sensible and decent human being, but just today defended universally
loathed model Naomi Campell. Campbell was accused of being difficult to
work with (if we had a nickel…) at the Fashion’s Night Out event held
earlier this week in New York, but Wintour disagreed, stating “Naomi was
on time, professional and a joy to work with.” Campbell may indeed
have been professional and punctual, but we’re highly suspicious of any
joy being had within her cell-phone throwing radius.
 But there you
have it, an inside glimpse of the Opposite-Day/Bizarro World goings on
in the world of fashion. So glad we get all our clothes at T.J. Maxx.
