The story below is from today's NEW YORK POST Page 6 column (I couldn't resist posting it)HAS Anna Wintour finally gone power crazy? That's what some fashion insiders are wondering this week after the Vogue editor in chief suggested a retail-sales strategy which some said amounted to industry price-fixing.
At a Tuesday "town hall" meeting hosted by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, designers lamented steep markdowns that have plagued profits since last fall.
"Could someone lead a committee that would make ground rules for retailers when the discounting starts, and then all the retailers can agree to it?" Wintour asked.
When CFDA President Diane Von Furstenburg pointed out, "That's illegal," Wintour said: "Is that something we can change? We have friends in the White House now."
I love Anna Wintour!
