It’s been seven months since Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were featured on the cover of Vogue, which shocked many people. Vogue’s editor in chief, Anna Wintour, has finally spoken out about it at Monday’s conversation series at the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
Wintour recalled the first celebrity to ever be featured on the cover of Vogue, and that was Madonna, which she said was “very controversial” at that time.
"Now she's part of the establishment. I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover, it would be a rather boring magazine!” she continued. “Nobody would talk about us. It's very important that people do talk about us."
The ‘Kimye’ April cover was definitely talked about and the magazine even dubbed them the “#worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple,” Us Weekly reports, which obviously pleased Wintour. “I hope another Kim Kardashian comes along this year!" she also said.
She even went on to praise Kardashian’s younger sister, Kendall Jenner, for being named the newest face of Estee Lauder.
“What a fantastic decision that was! They have a wonderful brand that's very traditional American, and they decided they want to shake it up and reach a different audience," she said.
