Yet she also seems like a whip cracker with her staff. Inside the not-very-glamorous-looking Vogue offices André Leon Talley — who makes for stellar b-roll sashaying down the hall in a cream crocodile coat — tells Morley, "It's not like tea party here. We work very hard." He continues, "Let's say that Anna can be intimidating. I think that's her armor. She is not a person that's going to show you emotions ever. She's like a doctor... Some of us can't cope with that. We need to be loved." (The Cut gives free hugs with coffee dates, André.)
And cut to Fashion Week! Morley's in the enviable position of sitting next to Anna in Paris and Milan at shows like John Galliano's. Does he appreciate it? Well, he describes the experience as "part dazzling, part Rocky Horror show." He sees "models that look as angry as they are emaciated [wearing] clothes fit for a cadaver." He might not "get" fashion but at least he has something in common with Anna — he tells us how he really feels.
Morley goes with Anna to visit Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière, who says of his design process, "There is always a moment where you question if Anna will like it or not." Karl Lagerfeld sits down with Morley and says Anna is the "most famous fashion journalist in the world" because she "says what she thinks." John Galliano calls Anna his "fairy godmother" and says he wouldn't be at Dior today if it weren't for her. LVMH chief Bernard Arnault confesses he wouldn't have hired John had it not been for Anna's urging. Back in New York, Anna coddles up-and-coming designers, like Alexander Wang, whose showroom she visits. Wearing her sunglasses to hide potential boredom, Alex shows her a silver mini-dress. Anna asks how much it is. He says $1,200. "That's very reasonable," she replies.
Thankfully we get a brief look at the Met Gala including Kanye West's performance "Flashing Lights" — all too appropriate for a crowd that most certainly believes in shoes and cars and couture from the store's departments. And of course Morley asks Anna if she's leaving Vogue any time soon. "Not at all," she replies. "To me this is a really interesting time to be in this position. And I think it would be in a way irresponsible not to put my best foot forward and lead us into a different time." Morley asks, "When the time comes, will you go quietly?" Anna answers, "Certainly. Very quietly." What does that mean? We thought we had her (sort of) figured out after these twelve minutes, then that last question brought up more questions than we started with. And that is why this woman is so, so fascinating. But still, should the chance arise, we wouldn't be nearly as terrified to have brunch with her.
