Editor of
fashion bible says sorry for printing ‘hurtful and intolerant’ stories and images
Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of US
Vogue, has admitted to making mistakes and publishing material that has been intolerant, as well as not doing enough to promote black staff and designers at the fashion magazine.
In a company-wide internal memo, written last Thursday and seen by the
New York Post this week amid nationwide unrest and protests over the killing last month of George Floyd, Wintour apologised to staff at the magazine for “publishing images or stories that have been hurtful or intolerant”, admitted there were too few employees of colour, and took full responsibility for mistakes made during her 32-year tenure.
