Vogue is also distancing itself from Ye. Following his antisemitic comments, a spokesperson for the publication told Page Six that the magazine and editor-in-chief Anna Wintour have no plans to work with the Yeezy designer again.
This statement comes weeks after Ye targeted Vogue editor-at-large Gabriella Karefa-Johnson for her commentary on his "White Lives Matter" T-shirt design. After Ye criticised her personal style and declared that she's "not a fashion person," Wintour reportedly arranged a meeting between the rapper and editor, filmed by Baz Luhrmann. That footage was never published.
Later, Vogue released a statement in Karefa-Johnson's defence, saying: "Vogue stands with Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, our global fashion editor at large and longtime contributor. She was personally targeted and bullied. It is unacceptable. Now more than ever, voices like hers are needed and in a private meeting with Ye today she once again spoke her truth in a way she felt best, on her terms." Throughout their 10-year relationship, Ye appeared on the cover of Vogue alongside his then-wife Kardashian, and enjoyed a regular invitation to the annual Met Gala hosted by Wintour.
