Vogue editor Anna Wintour shades Kim and Kanye West

When asked during a discussion at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts on Monday why she put Kanye and Kim on the Vogue cover, Ms Wintour said it was 'not a tasteful choice' and admitted that she did it as a publicity stunt…

"I see the role of Vogue to reflect what’s going on in the culture. The first celebrity that I put on the cover of Vogue was Madonna, and that was considered completely controversial at the time, too. It’s such a long time ago probably no one remembers, but she was a very controversial figure. 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! Nobody would talk about us. It’s very important that people do talk about us."

Vogue actually lost a lot of subscribers after the infamous Kimye cover so she's been explaining why she did it..
