It seems 2009 is already turning out to be a bad year for Anna Wintour.  Just days after Cathy Horyn of The New York Times wrote a scathing article on the shortcomings of American Vogue,  Anna Wintour topped Time magazine’s fashion faux pas list for 2008.  Claiming Anna looks like “she’s encrusted with ammonoid fossils” in a Chanel Haute Couture gown at last year’s Met Costume Intitute Gala, Time’s author Belinda Luscombe came down hard on the editor-in-chief of Vogue. 

Seeing this picture out of context, we can see why Time magazine would chastise Ms. Wintour, however considering the fact that the gala was “superhero” themed, we kind of think the dress is party-appropriate.

With all these negative reports and false takeover rumours, we starting to feel like there really is an evil plot to overthrow Anna Wintour from her throne at Vogue.
