Vogue is also distancing itself from West. Following his antisemitic comments, a spokesperson for the publication told Page Six that the magazine and Editor in Chief Anna Wintour have no plans to work with the Yeezy designer again.
This statement comes weeks after West targeted Karefa-Johnson, Vogue editor at large, for her commentary on his "White Lives Matter" T-shirt design. After West criticized her personal style and declared that she's "not a fashion person," Wintour reportedly arranged a meeting between the rapper and editor, filmed by Baz Luhrmann. That footage was never published.
Later, Vogue released a statement in Karefa-Johnson's defense, saying: "Vogue stands with Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, our global fashion editor at large and longtime contributor. She was personally targeted and bullied. It is unacceptable. Now more than ever, voices like hers are needed and in a private meeting with Ye today she once again spoke her truth in a way she felt best, on her terms." Throughout their 10-year relationship, West appeared on the cover of Vogue alongside his then-wife Kardashian and enjoyed a regular invitation to the annual Met Gala hosted by Wintour.
