In weird fashion news, Beyonce is getting complete control over Vogue’s September issue, which is slated to be Anna Wintour’s last in her decades-long career.
The move is a strange one. Yes, Beyonce is a brand and she sells magazines. (This is her second Vogue September issue cover in four years). But, the fact that Anna is relinquishing all editorial control over the issue is baffling. As part of the deal, Beyonce is not event granting Vogue and interview with her. She is also hiring her own photographer — the first black photographer to shoot a Vogue cover — and having veto power over which photos they use of her and writing her own captions.
This seems like a strange way for Anna to leave the magazine that she has had complete oversight over since 1988. Between this and her cozying up to the Kardashians over the years, it seems like a strict about face to the Anna the fashion world has known.
