The formidable editor-in-chief of the US Vogue Anna Wintour has bestowed her seal of approval on LA Fashion Week. La Wintour, who is notorious for her make or break abilities, gave a favourable verdict. “It’s a little more laid back and less people, but everyone’s very charming and very enthusiastic. I’ll definitely come back,” she said of her first time at the Mercerdes Benz Fashion Week in Los Angeles last week.
She named designers Carlos Rosario, Louis Verdad, Libertine, James Perse and Rodarte as favourites and admitted that dancing with photographer Mario Testino at the dinner she hosted for him was the highlight of the week.
Her daughter Bee, who had accompanied her to LA, disappeared off to the shops for shopping spree. “She certainly went to Marc Jacobs, then to Fred Segal. She just disappeared for a day. I dread to think where she went,” said her mother.
