In the eyes of ‘Vogue’ queen Anna Wintour, no one, or nothing, is spared, even David Letterman’s socks.
Wintour taped an appearance for ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman, and called the socks “interesting.”
Letterman, a self-confessed “dope” when it comes to dressing up, pulled up the hem of his pants to flash a view of his stockings and invited Wintour to “take a look at those, honey.”
Wintour is making her first appearance on ‘The Late Show’ on CBS, and is featured in the documentary entitled ‘The September Issue’, a documentary chronicling the production of the 2007 issue of the fashion magazine, the biggest in the 117-year history of ‘Vogue’. The issue arrived just before recession struck the U.S.
The magazine editor acknowledged that she does not sugar coat when talking to her staff, although she does not see herself as an overbearing and tough boss.
“Well, I’m very decisive and I try and give very clear direction to the people that I’m working with, and sometimes, unfortunately, they don’t hear the answer that they would like to hear,” said Wintour, according to a CBS transcript.
She added, she is not “always warm and cuddly,” but knows when to give a pat on the back for excellent work.
To this, Letterman replied, “Have you ever put anybody in a headlock?” which drew laughter from the audience.
Wintour replied, “Maybe you?”
She also clarified that the cold, driven editor in the movie, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, Miranda Priestly, was not modelled after her, noting that the character played by Meryl Streep was part of a fictional tale.
