Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfeld, Battle of the Vogues
Filed under: News

It's the clash of the fashion titans. Rumors have been swirling for months that American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, infamous for her hostility towards press and television interviews, will be doing a 60 Minutes special with Morley Safar which will air by May 2009. The gossip mill also claims that Anna and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld, for lack of better words, hate each other. So in true fashion diva style, Carine couldn't let Anna be the only Vogue editor with a special this season, now could she?
According to NY Mag, 60 Minutes reps neither confirmed nor denied rumors of an impending Anna Wintour special. However, the 60 Minutes camera crew has been following her around to lofty events like the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards dinner since November, which leads us to believe it's happening. We hear Anna's piece will be out this television season, which ends in May, but seeing how her recent documentary, The September Issue, took nine months to film, we wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't air until 2010.
On the other hand, Carine is getting out there and getting it done. Her CNN piece titled, Revealed, is a sure thing, following her to both the New York and Paris collections. The icon told WWD, "I am being followed round all the shows, and they are doing lots of interviews. But you won't be seeing me naked." Carine also state that she doesn't like watching herself so she won't be tuning into her special. But we are almost certain that, when Miss Wintour finally decides to show her stuff, Miss Roitfeld won't miss it for the world.

I think they both look lovely - though they seem to be competing on the "who has thinner arms" basis.
