Fashion Week Dispatch: Anna in the Wild, Christian Siriano, and More

Anna Wintour is on a Vogue World press circuit and I'm loving it.

Thank you for subscribing to Back Row. Fashion week technically starts today in New York, however so much has already happened that my first fashion week issue is going out earlier than I expected. Become a paid subscriber to read today’s dispatch in full, which includes:

• A recap of Anna Wintour’s Vogue World press tour.

• What the Queen’s death means for London Fashion Week. (Spoiler alert: nothing good.)

• A recap of the Christian Siriano show.

• Other dribs and drabs.

If you have a tip, please reply to one of these emails or DM me on Instagram!

Anna Wintour’s Vogue World Press Circuit

Anna hasn’t been out and about that much since the summer of 2020, prior to which she was regularly releasing candid photos of herself at home — you know, jogging, working in track pants, hanging with her dogs. Sure, she popped up to promote her Met Galas a bit, but I missed Content Anna. But now she has a Met Gala-y thing to promote! Vogue World! A street fair-meets-fashion show meant to signal that New York fashion is back! Also meant to drive revenue for Vogue with those $3,000 front row tickets that are now sold out. (Vogue’s CRO: Yay! Everyone else: What?!)

She went on CBS This Morning to be interviewed by Gayle King, who did the perfunctory Vogue World stuff and the Serena Williams cover is so gorgeous stuff (which it truly is) and then dared to ask, “Do you see a life for yourself after Vogue or is that not even something you entertain?”
