Katrina Szish, a Newsmax host and former Vogue Editor, reveals what we already know. The politics of an unhappy and bitter Editor has kept First Lady Melania Trump from appearing in Vogue Magazine.
Szish joined Meghan McCain’s podcast to share that Vogue Editor Anna Wintour’s “deep political bias” has kept the most stylish First Lady in history from appearing on the cover.
Meghan McCain: I want to ask you just a question on the background of Vogue. So I am like, I like dabble in fashion. I love fashion. I dabble in fashion, but I wouldn’t call myself a fashionista because when it gets right down to it, I don’t find fashion very natural. I need people to help me.
But I do know when I see a stylish, beautiful woman like you, whatever you feel about Trump, there is no doubting that our First Lady is easily one of the most stylish women, I think ever, in all of American history, let alone modern American history, it really upsets me that Vogue won’t put her on a cover. I think Jill got two. Obviously, Vice President Harris definitely had one where she was in Converse, and it looked weird.
What is their hesitation?
Katrina Szish: Michelle Obama, of course. Yeah. You know what it is? I think totally. I mean, This is not even spilling any tea, but Anna Wynter, the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, she loves politics. She’s extraordinarily liberal. And even from when I was there many, many years ago, she doesn’t view the magazine really as journalism. It’s very much a point of view, and she’s in charge.
So she puts on the cover who she thinks will sell magazines through her own point of view and, of course, experience.
But she’s clearly very vocally anti-Trump, very vocally anti-Republican, and it’s just something that’s her idea.
I think it’s ridiculous, but she makes her own decisions, and she does what she does. I think Melania, to the point of actually being able to showcase designers, many of whom who, because of Anna’s decision to cast her off in the world of fashion, refused to dress her, which, again, I think is so ridiculous because they were, again, silenced by the groupthink mentality of liberals and Democrats, and that even comes through in fashion, as we saw.
I really want to give kudos to Adam Lippis, a small niche American designer who dressed her for the inauguration.Good I’ve met him. I’ve worked with him. He’s been around for a long time. He’s not a new guy or an up and comer on the scene, but he said, ‘You know what? I want to do this because this is a beautiful woman. This is for the country, not for partisan politics.’ I think it’s great when designers actually are courageous to stand up to that.
Meghan McCain: I was really happy to see Oscar De La Renta doing Usha Vance because she did her inauguration outfit. I think Ivanka because Oscar De La Renta, for people that maybe don’t know that are watching, he is known for doing basically every First Lady in modern history, and I was happy to see that come back. Do you think we can look forward to seeing some designers get less skittish? I mean, maybe they won’t get a Vogue cover, but I think everyone sees how absurd, patently absurd it is. But do you think more designers will feel less like Like less hesitant to dress people like our second lady and our first lady than they did the first time?
Katrina Szish: I’ll be very honest. I’ve talked to a lot of friends in the industry who are very liberal, a former colleagues at Vogue and other magazine I’ve seen some other designers, American designers, some of whom were very close friends with Ivana Trump and very much love Melania, but they have said point blank, ‘Yeah, sorry, no,’ people are too scared.
They won’t do it because they are too worried about their own brand, their own reputation, and the bottom line. I think that’s really disappointing. I’m not saying across the board that’s going to be the case, but I don’t think we’re suddenly going to see a dramatic change. I mean, fashion houses like Oscar de la Renta, of course, he doesn’t do the designs anymore, but they’re historically more about fashion and beauty and the esthetic as they are than politics or even being bullied into dressing or not dressing someone.
But I think it’s very different now with even the retail climate like it is, the luxury climate like it is. Designers are very, very careful who they align themselves with. And unfortunately, I don’t think we’re going to see a big change there.
Meghan McCain: It makes me really sad. I don’t know. I love it. I know.
Katrina Szish: It’s a bummer, especially like Melanie, as you said, she’s so fashionable and she looks beautiful in clothing. And also she is someone who isn’t originally from this country, but now she’s first lady, and that represents an amazing, amazing trajectory, an amazing journey that she has been on. I think sharing her story with readers, say, in Vogue, would be beneficial. But again, I think they view her as, I think it described her as maybe like a movie character or like an action hero starsomething very frivolous, as opposed to a legitimate first lady, which is sad.
Watch:
While the most beautiful and fashionable First Lady in American history is overlooked because of Trump Derangement Syndrome, Vogue has had no problem showcasing washed-up porn star Stormy Daniels, Jill Biden looking like she grabbed fabric from Hunter Biden’s crack couch, a frumpy Michelle Obama, and a converse-clad Kamala Harris.
