Anna Wintour ‘did not remove her sunglasses’ while laying off Pitchfork staffers: report
NY Post
Anna Wintour didn’t bother to remove her trademark sunglasses when she informed staffers at a struggling music news publication that they were out of a job, according to a witness.
Wintour, the longtime Vogue editor who was promoted to chief content officer at Condé Nast, kept her big black frames on while informing staffers at Pitchfork that their publication was closing up and being folded into GQ, according to one of the laid off writers.
“One absolutely bizarro detail from this week is that Anna Wintour — seated indoors at a conference table — did not remove her sunglasses while she was telling us that we were about to get canned,” Allison Hussey, a former staff writer at Pitchfork, wrote on her X social media account.
Hussey slammed “the indecency we’ve seen from upper management,” calling it “appalling.”
The Post has sought comment from Condé Nast.
A source close to Vogue told The Post that Wintour wears her sunglasses “all the time” and that she was not trying to avoid eye contact with staffers.
