Anna Wintour Admits That Kimye Aren’t “Deeply Tasteful People”

If there's one thing 2014 taught us, it's put Kim Kardashian on a cover and things will get heated. Anna Wintour's decision to put Kim and Kanye West on the cover of Vogue Magazine raised eyebrows, but it exploded on the world wide web and sold.

Anna Wintour has spoken about her decision to go ahead with the Kimye kover at a talk at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, acknowledging that they are not "deeply tasteful people."

Anna said: "I see the role of Vogue to reflect what’s going on in the culture. The first celebrity that I put on the cover of Vogue was Madonna, and that was considered completely controversial at the time, too. It’s such a long time ago probably no one remembers, but she was a very controversial figure. Now she’s part of the establishment."

She added: "I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover, it would be a rather boring magazine! Nobody would talk about us. It’s very important that people do talk about us."

Anna might sound like she's sneering Kimye, but she then praised the power of the Kardashian-Jenner-Wests. "Going back to Estée Lauder’s decision to make Kendall Jenner the face of Estée Lauder," Anna said. "What a fantastic decision that was! They have a wonderful brand that’s very traditionally American, and they decided they want to shake it up and reach a different audience. Now and again one has to do things like that. I think it’s part of the excitement and part of being a journalist. I hope another Kim Kardashian comes along this year!"

We're not sure the world is big enough for two Kimyes.
