Team Anna vs. Team Emmanuelle

The recent news that Vogue Paris is coming to America via an English version has left me quite shaken up. I have been a true devotee and worshiper of the great Anna Wintour for many years but I must admit that I do admire Emmanuelle Alt's fabulous Parisian-chic style and at certain times her vision and creativity have made me question my allegiances (did I just utter such blasphemous words?) With her typical uniform of skinny jeans, oversized blazer and booties, she has greatly impacted my own personal style, not to mention that she basically lives in all black.

At first I thought it was a belated April Fool's joke but after double checking the date I realized this was the real deal. Something I'm wondering about is how Vogue Paris in English will affect the magazines availability. I mean Vogue is on newsstands everywhere you look but finding a copy of Vogue Paris is a bit more challenging. Now that the magazine is going to be in English will it be easier to find or will it still be a bit of a search? Additionally will saying "I read Vogue Paris" still carry the same cultural capital as it does now or will the fact that commoners everywhere can read this fine literature diminish the cultural capital of the magazine. I mean can you imagine going to get your nails done and the girl next to you in head to toe Ed Hardy (or whatever it is that the commoners wear these days) is reading Vogue Paris, so not chic.

I cant wait to see how everything turns out, whether the content of the magazines will remain the same or whether there will be some slight changes to appeal to the American consumer.

One thing is for certain, this will definite create a slight divide between the fashion obsessed now that both magazines will be essentially competing Louboutin to Louboutin.

Is your allegiance to Team Anna or Team Emmanuelle?
