Anna Wintour has spoken about her controversial decision to put Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on the front cover of US Vogue.
The Vogue editor-in-chief admitted that she decided to put them on the cover to encourage people to talk about the magazine.
Speaking at The Museum of Metropolitan Art, she said: "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.
"Going back to Estée Lauder’s decision to make Kendall Jenner the face of Estée Lauder: what a fantastic decision that was. They have a wonderful brand that’s very traditionally American, and they decided they want to shake it up and reach a different audience. Now and again one has to do things like that. I think it’s part of the excitement and part of being a journalist. I hope another Kim Kardashian comes along this year!”
