(They got them within hours.)
Now even if your idea of fashion is a sweatshirt without stains, you know what Vogue is, and the editor-in-chief of its American edition, Anna Wintour, is called one of the most powerful women in the world.
You may think of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Angela Merkel, Janet Yellen, Oprah Winfrey, etc., and roll your eyes at that comment, but the fashion industry is a multibillion dollar one, and few people argue that Wintour isn’t one of the biggest, if not the biggest, influence on it. And even if your couture of choice is that stain-free sweatshirt, Wintour probably had some say in that, too. Fashion rolls downhill, and what elite designers do, their concepts — even the colors they choose — eventually end up at Old Navy and other lower-priced retailers where most of us shop. (See Meryl Streep’s more pointed explanation in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada,” in which Streep plays a thinly veiled version of Wintour.)
But back to Lena and Photoshop. Vogue, like most, OK, every U.S. celebrity/fashion magazine, touches up photo subjects heavily. Even now and then, it’s so dramatic it causes a kerfluffle. Some readers reacted very strongly when Self magazine took several sizes off cover subject Kelly Clarkson. Others bashed Flare magazine when a recent Internet post showed how dramatically the magazine altered images of America’s new sweetheart, Jennifer Lawrence. (She’s only 23. Gravity/time/life really haven’t had a chance to affect her yet, but the changes were pretty significant. Even the “perfect” women can’t be perfect in this world, it seems.)
