Anna Wintour apologizes for calling Yeezy clothing line ‘Migrant Chic’
During an interview on the show, 'Late Night
With Seth Meyers', Vogue editor in chief, Anna Wintour talked about
arriving early for the show at Madison Square Garden, “waiting for the
Kardashians to arrive en masse – and Jay-Z. So, eventually, they did
turn up and The Life of Pablo concert started and the migrant chic
fashion show started and they were both wonderful.” Later, she got lost
and was recognized as a basketball mom. The
fact that she described Kanye West's fashion line as 'Migrant Chic'
caused an outrage on Twitter, a lot of people described her as
insensitive to the plight of real migrants. She said to the late night
show host, Seth Meyers:
“They put me in this huge VIP section and I was the only person sitting there for about half an hour.
“Eventually the Life Of Pablo concert
started, and the 'migrant chic' fashion show started, and it was
wonderful, but after about 45 minutes I did notice that Jay Z had slid
away, so I thought I could sneak out after him without anyone noticing.
“But I slid into the basement of Madison
Square Garden and I was lost there for half an hour asking various
people to let me out. I was really in tears.
After much criticism, she apologized. She said:
“I apologize if my remark was offensive in any way," she said. "The migrant crisis is real, and I didn’t intend to trivialize that issue."
