CARINE ROITFIELD FIRED FROM VOGUE PARIS!!!



The editor-in-chief of Vogue ParisCarine Roitfeld, announces  she would be "leaving" the magazine at the end of January. 
Inside sources say that the "resignation" was a surprise not only to the fashion industry and the general public, but also to Roitfeld's staff (and for herself, hellooo).
Well, that is because Roitfeld did not resign—SHE WAS FIRED!!!

Reasons:

  1.  Conde Nast-Carine Roitfeld fall-out was a long time coming due to all the bad press surrounding Roitfeld (Pay-for-play scandals) 
  2. Demanding huge sums of money for extracurricular consulting
  3. Public embarrassment of being banned from BalenciagaRoitfeld allegedly borrowed Balenciaga preview pieces and sent them to Max Mara, to copy and apparently "It wasn't the first time"
  4. Plenty of questions about Roitfeld's impartiality as an editor. .
  5. Behind-the-scenes deals were made at this year's ANDAM (a €220,000 prize for emerging talent in France). 
  6. LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnaultallegedly threatened Conde Nast International Chairman Jonathan Newhousewith the removal of all LVMH ads from the next issue of Vogue Paris because it contained too few LVMH credits and because of the "poor taste" exercised in the young girls editorial—wherein the children are heavily made-up, "reclining on tiger-skins, or sprawled on beds," wearing luxury adult garments.

Easy tiger!

Conde Nast's furor boiled over this past Friday morning and the Vogue staff learned about Roitfeld's departure via an early a.m. email saying that she was fired.

Plus, she is getting nice words from colleagues such as, "Carine should never have been appointed editor-in-chief—just fashion director," one source tells us. "She is only a stylist, not a politician or a writer".

Ouch, (conde) nast-y!

Frontrunners for the position:
Le Figaro's Fashion Director Virginie Mouzat
Deputy Editor of Vogue Paris Olivier Lalanne 
Fashion Director of Vogue Paris Emmanuelle Alt (sources say that Alt is even "less literate" than Roitfeld and allegedly, reputed to be even more demanding with pay-for-play—working with "worse brands" than Roitfeld, making Alt unfit to helm Vogue Paris.) 

Future plans for Miss Rotfield
Conde Nast is expected to announce Roitfeld's successor in the coming weeks. As for speculation that Roitfeld will join her longtime collaborator Tom Ford in his new womenswear venture, BUT Ford denies it: "Carine and I have no plans to work together at the moment, and it is nothing that we have even discussed, but of course I think she is brilliant and we are close friends so who knows about the future."

The question  is now did fashion killed Carine Roitfield as well? 

(Should I change the name of my blog now????? *confused*)
