Ambassador Anna? Rumors Have Vogue Ed Paris-Bound

Wintour rumored new French ambassador

Share

(Newser) – Rumors are flying that Vogue editor Anna Wintour will become ambassador to France, the New York Post reports. Wintour's rumored replacement at the pinnacle of fashion journalism would be Carine Roitfeld, editor of French Vogue. But is the scuttlebutt, which appears to have originated with the Fashion Week Daily website, true? Barack Obama’s transition team responds: “No comment.”
