- 0:50Speaker 2: Maybe it's an anticipation of rest because we do have
- 0:54Speaker 2: a break coming up for the holiday, for the fourth
- 0:56Speaker 2: of July holiday, which means I will not have to
- 0:58Speaker 2: wake up every morning to come into the breakfast club,
- 1:01Speaker 2: so that three thirty four am alarm baby shut off.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I am so excited for that. So I'm anticipating being
- 1:09Speaker 2: able to have I'm still have an alarm because you know,
- 1:12Speaker 2: I got things going on during the week. We'll still
- 1:13Speaker 2: be in court until durid deliberations are over, but it
- 1:17Speaker 2: won't be no four am. God is good. Can we
- 1:21Speaker 2: put a little church shop right here, some tambourine, some something,
- 1:24Speaker 2: because God is so good When you get a week
- 1:26Speaker 2: to not wake up at three four o'clock in the morning, Lord,
- 1:29Speaker 2: I am so grateful.
- 1:30Speaker 1: But God, you know I'm going to enjoy this break.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Now, getting on into the latest huge story yesterday, major
- 1:39Speaker 2: story in a winter, Oh my God, and a Winterur
- 1:45Speaker 2: is stepping away or stepping down from her position at
- 1:48Speaker 2: Vogue as editor in chief after thirty seven years in
- 1:54Speaker 2: this position. Man, the Queen of Fashion, the Queen of
- 1:58Speaker 2: Fashion houses, the queen of fashion at a two and
- 2:00Speaker 2: a Wintoru style icon and a win tour, has decided.
- 2:05Speaker 2: After thirty seven years of running the fashion world with
- 2:08Speaker 2: her trailblazing vision and you know all of the the
- 2:11Speaker 2: the resources and you know the direction that she's been
- 2:14Speaker 2: able to provide via Vogue, she she's gonna take a
- 2:18Speaker 2: step back now. She's not gonna completely be doing like
- 2:22Speaker 2: nothing right like this is. I don't think a person
- 2:24Speaker 2: that has been as active and uh, you know, as
- 2:28Speaker 2: influential as an and a Wintor could honestly just take
- 2:31Speaker 2: a step back, fully like like fully.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Retire, do nothing type of thing.
- 2:37Speaker 2: So of course it wasn't a surprise to hear that
- 2:40Speaker 2: she won't just be doing anything, right, So, what she's
- 2:44Speaker 2: gonna actually do is she is going to remain as
- 2:47Speaker 2: Conde Nast Global Chief Content Officer. You know, she still
- 2:52Speaker 2: will also be Vogues Global editorial Directors, so she'll still
- 2:55Speaker 2: have a hand in things and a hand in the
- 2:58Speaker 2: game a bit, but it will be very different than
- 3:02Speaker 2: how we've been used to seeing her now. And what
- 3:04Speaker 2: that means for all of the people who are not
- 3:06Speaker 2: into fashion, who you know, this has nothing y'all, like, well,
- 3:09Speaker 2: why does this have anything to do with us?
- 3:11Speaker 1: Right?
- 3:12Speaker 2: This means that as content as Chief Content Officer, she
- 3:16Speaker 2: will oversee various different brands under Content n Ass. So
- 3:19Speaker 2: Content as is like the parent company Condey n Ask
- 3:22Speaker 2: is like iHeart for radio stations, right, so it's the
- 3:26Speaker 2: parent company under Conde Nash. You have Wired, you have
- 3:30Speaker 2: Vanity Fair, you have GQ magazine, you have Conde Nash Traveler,
- 3:35Speaker 2: you have Glamour magazine, Allure and a few other outlets,
- 3:40Speaker 2: so she'll still be overseeing content across all of those
- 3:46Speaker 2: platforms under Conde nas which is the parent company, but
- 3:49Speaker 2: she just will no longer be editor in chief at Vogue.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Now people are like, what is an editor in chief's role?
- 3:56Speaker 2: If you're the editor in chief, you are like very
- 3:58Speaker 2: highly ranked. Now there is is very much so a
- 4:02Speaker 2: ranking system in the fashion world, and baby the people respected.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Editor in chief is the highest.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Rank editor editorial professional at a publication, So you oversee
- 4:11Speaker 2: the entire editorial processing team everything from you know, what
- 4:15Speaker 2: will the clothes be in the stories we tell? To
- 4:18Speaker 2: what are the stories? To who are the stories? To
- 4:21Speaker 2: how we're telling the stories, to what the art looks
- 4:23Speaker 2: like the artists like the photos, and putting that full
- 4:26Speaker 2: vision together of the magazine and how it is conveyed
- 4:32Speaker 2: for the month to your readers. But also you know,
- 4:35Speaker 2: there's Vogue dot com as well too, so then there's
- 4:37Speaker 2: that digital element of that as well, the same thing,
- 4:40Speaker 2: what's the story, who's the story, why are we doing
- 4:41Speaker 2: the story? What are the assets, the photos, the videos,
- 4:44Speaker 2: the feeling the texture of the story. In a winter
- 4:48Speaker 2: has been able to put a lot of big names
- 4:51Speaker 2: celebrities on the cover of Vogue, and there have been
- 4:55Speaker 2: a lot of lists coming out of different people. She's
- 4:58Speaker 2: put on Vogue number nineteen eighty nine. You have Naomi
- 5:03Speaker 2: Campbell on the cover of Vogue November two thousand and one,
- 5:08Speaker 2: Britney Spears on the.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Cover of Vogue.
- 5:10Speaker 2: You have April two thousand and eight with Lebron James
- 5:15Speaker 2: and Giselle Bunchkin, who used to be married to Tom Brady.
- 5:18Speaker 2: A lot of people forget that Gaselle was such a
- 5:20Speaker 2: big model on the cover of Vogue. Michelle Obama in
- 5:24Speaker 2: two thousand and nine on the cover of Vogue, which
- 5:26Speaker 2: was a big deal because first of all, the cover
- 5:28Speaker 2: read Michelle Obama, the first Lady the world's been waiting for,
- 5:31Speaker 2: because you know, Barack Obama, first black president, and then
- 5:34Speaker 2: you have Michelle Obama sitting next to him. But Michelle
- 5:37Speaker 2: Obama was heavily critiqued and criticized for her choice of
- 5:41Speaker 2: fashion while in the role of first Lady, so Vogue
- 5:44Speaker 2: standing next to.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Her was a big deal.
- 5:46Speaker 2: This is the go to fashion platform, so that was
- 5:50Speaker 2: a really big deal as well. And Michelle Obama actually
- 5:54Speaker 2: did the cover two more times after that as well.
- 5:58Speaker 2: She also in a win tour put Kanye West and
- 6:01Speaker 2: Kim Kardashiana on the Vogue cover in April of twenty fourteen,
- 6:05Speaker 2: which was a really big deal because for a long time,
- 6:10Speaker 2: people in the fashion world, especially Vogue magazine, distanced themselves
- 6:17Speaker 2: from people like Kim Kardashian. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
- 6:20Speaker 2: have talked about this. Kanye West has talked about a
- 6:23Speaker 2: lot being able to put Kim Kardashian next to in
- 6:25Speaker 2: the winter and what that did for Kim Kardashian because
- 6:29Speaker 2: people looked at Kim Kardashian as like, oh, she's just
- 6:31Speaker 2: a reality star. They looked down on her because of it,
- 6:35Speaker 2: because reality TV was looked at as something that wasn't
- 6:37Speaker 2: as valid at the time, or it was very low brow,
- 6:42Speaker 2: given a little bit of ratch, given a little of the.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Nass, not class.
- 6:46Speaker 2: But Kim Kardashian, who was trying to carve her own
- 6:49Speaker 2: lane in the fashion world, she would try, she was
- 6:51Speaker 2: trying to attend these shows, she was trying to be
- 6:54Speaker 2: within these inner circles. She was trying to wear these
- 6:55Speaker 2: different brands, and they would be told no. Very often,
- 6:59Speaker 2: she would not be invited to the shows There were
- 7:00Speaker 2: even rumors that at one point in time, when Kim
- 7:02Speaker 2: Kardashian would come into these elements, into these high fashion
- 7:06Speaker 2: events and things of that nature, people would literally leave
- 7:08Speaker 2: because they didn't want to be seen with her, especially
- 7:11Speaker 2: because before the reality show part of Kim Kardashian, you know,
- 7:15Speaker 2: the sex tape was the predecessor, right, so people didn't
- 7:19Speaker 2: want to be seen with her. So again, Vogue putting
- 7:21Speaker 2: Kim and Kanye on the cover stamped it changed Kim
- 7:24Speaker 2: Kardashian's life standing next to Anna Wintor via Kanye West.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Nicki Minaj has been on the cover recently. Beyonce was
- 7:32Speaker 2: on the cover in twenty eighteen, and Beyonce's cover was
- 7:36Speaker 2: a big deal too because she worked with a young
- 7:39Speaker 2: photographer named Tyler Mitchell. I believe Tyler Mitchell was like
- 7:43Speaker 2: twenty three twenty four at the time. He was twenty
- 7:44Speaker 2: three years old at the time when he shot Beyonce,
- 7:49Speaker 2: and he was a black photographer or he's a black photographer,
- 7:51Speaker 2: not was, because he's still around. He's a black photographer
- 7:54Speaker 2: twenty three years old, shot Beyonce cover Vogue Again, it's
- 7:58Speaker 2: just like an official stand now the fashion houses you know,
- 8:02Speaker 2: things have began to change so much over the last decade.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I would say, I used to work in fashion, so
- 8:08Speaker 2: I used to work with Cosmopolitan magazine. And during that
- 8:10Speaker 2: time when I was there, this was a long time ago.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Fashion houses and major fashion publications like a Vogue and
- 8:18Speaker 2: things of that nature were so regarded that they didn't
- 8:21Speaker 2: just throw their stamp on anybody, as they shouldn't. But
- 8:25Speaker 2: that was a good and a bad thing. It was
- 8:26Speaker 2: a good thing because you know, if you can keep
- 8:28Speaker 2: the brand regarded, people always aspire to be a part
- 8:30Speaker 2: of it, to want to read it, to want to
- 8:31Speaker 2: understand it. But it was a bad thing because it
- 8:34Speaker 2: shut a lot of people out.
- 8:37Speaker 1: It shut a whole lot of people out.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And when I say people, mainly people of color, black people.
- 8:43Speaker 2: And this is why, you know, in twenty twenty five,
- 8:46Speaker 2: even when you talk about the fashion weeks, a lot
- 8:48Speaker 2: of people will say fashion week is not what fashion
- 8:53Speaker 2: week used to be, where it's like you got a
- 8:54Speaker 2: wait for these high brow couture house invites in order
- 8:59Speaker 2: to be considered deemed somewhat important moving throughout fashion week.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Now you have the brands like the LaQuan Smiths, and
- 9:06Speaker 2: you know, Telfars and all these other black designers who
- 9:11Speaker 2: decides ward that are doing their own shows and not
- 9:15Speaker 2: in the fashion tents. The Fashion Tints is this area
- 9:18Speaker 2: in New York that has coveted for fashion Week shows,
- 9:22Speaker 2: and those are the shows that you want to go
- 9:24Speaker 2: to if you're on that official Fashion Week list as
- 9:26Speaker 2: a designer and you're under the Fashion Tints. At one
- 9:29Speaker 2: point in time, that made or broke your career and
- 9:32Speaker 2: your brand. Nowadays things are so much different, and I
- 9:35Speaker 2: think Vague was really good at shifting, even when they
- 9:39Speaker 2: leaned into the dot com and started sending next to artists,
- 9:42Speaker 2: like I remember there was photos of Ice Spices and
- 9:44Speaker 2: in a winterur sitting front road during the time the
- 9:47Speaker 2: Ice Spice was, you know, moving around and doing her thing.
- 9:51Speaker 2: There were recently photos of Tyler in a winterur, you know,
- 9:56Speaker 2: and seedd together as well, like she in a winter
- 9:59Speaker 2: and the team of around her has been really good
- 10:01Speaker 2: at understanding when things are changing.
- 10:03Speaker 1: And being able to move with the change, to be
- 10:08Speaker 1: honest with you.
- 10:08Speaker 2: So I don't know what is to come next because
- 10:11Speaker 2: of this, but because she's doing this, stepping away and
- 10:16Speaker 2: just focusing on other things, something is to come like,
- 10:20Speaker 2: she's a very strategic woman who's been very successful at
- 10:23Speaker 2: influence in branding and marketing and storytelling and positioning of
- 10:27Speaker 2: the magazines and the brands that she's worked with, but
- 10:29Speaker 2: also of people for a.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Very long time.
- 10:32Speaker 2: So I kept asking my friends yesterday, like all of
- 10:34Speaker 2: you know my chat where we talk fashion. They were
- 10:37Speaker 2: having a conversation about it, and I'm like, but why,
- 10:40Speaker 2: Like why what is happening? Because when something like this happens,
- 10:45Speaker 2: she ain't doing this for no reason, So what's about
- 10:47Speaker 2: to happen?
- 10:47Speaker 1: A lot of people think that Edward.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Any Fool may be coming in and stepping over and
- 10:52Speaker 2: taking her place. Edward Inningful is the editor in chief
- 10:56Speaker 2: of British Vote, which was a big deal because he
- 10:58Speaker 2: was a black man, So people think that he maybe
- 11:00Speaker 2: stepping in. But there's been rumored like tis tests between
- 11:03Speaker 2: the two. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.
- 11:05Speaker 2: It wouldn't be a bad thing for her to put
- 11:06Speaker 2: a person of color, a black person in this position.
- 11:09Speaker 2: It would honestly be something that would be very on
- 11:11Speaker 2: brand for her and how she's been able to understand
- 11:13Speaker 2: and not be tone deaf when things are happening, even
- 11:15Speaker 2: though people speak otherwise of the of the outlet. Right
- 11:18Speaker 2: to each his own opinion, But anyway, that's how it
- 11:20Speaker 2: seems brand wise, So we'll just have to wait and see.
- 11:23Speaker 1: For all my non fashioned people, I know y'all are like,
- 11:25Speaker 1: who even knew? Big deal?
- 11:28Speaker 2: This is like Beyonce saying she's retiring from music, y'all.
- 11:30Speaker 2: This is literally the equivalent of that. All right, So
- 11:35Speaker 2: I'll keep you guys posting on what comes up next.
- 11:37Speaker 2: I am headed to court. Today is the second day
- 11:42Speaker 2: of closing arguments the defense. Diddy's team will be presenting
- 11:45Speaker 2: their closing arguments in the midst of Justin Colmb's Diddy's
- 11:49Speaker 2: son being sued as well. Now there's a girl alleging
- 11:55Speaker 2: that Justin COLMBS lured him to LA with promises of
- 11:58Speaker 2: getting her job and entertained. But when she got to LA,
- 12:01Speaker 2: she says she was kept in the house for days,
- 12:03Speaker 2: and she alleges that she was raped by multiple men,
- 12:05Speaker 2: including Diddy at least, you know, according to this like lawsuit,
- 12:09Speaker 2: Diddy seem has come out about this and said that
- 12:11Speaker 2: it was Bs. They actually said, no matter how many
- 12:14Speaker 2: lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that mister
- 12:16Speaker 2: Combs is never sexually as assaulted or sex trafficked anyone
- 12:20Speaker 2: man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a
- 12:22Speaker 2: world where anyone can follow lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately,
- 12:25Speaker 2: a fair and impartial judicial process exists for the truth
- 12:28Speaker 2: to be found, and mister Combs is confident that he
- 12:30Speaker 2: will prevail in court.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Now, her attorney is Tony Busby, and.
- 12:34Speaker 2: You guys know that there has been a conversation around
- 12:36Speaker 2: the validity of Tony Busby's filings because of the whole
- 12:41Speaker 2: jay Z lawsuit dropped, and you know all those things.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Y'all remember all of that. We talked a lot about
- 12:47Speaker 2: that here, so we'll keep you guys posted on that.
- 12:50Speaker 2: But I think a lot of people even know a
- 12:51Speaker 2: lot of outlets did report on this kind of had
- 12:53Speaker 2: to back away from it because a lot of things
- 12:55Speaker 2: with Tony Busby, you know, are allegedly did I look
- 12:59Speaker 2: in the best as far as like a lawyer and
- 13:00Speaker 2: a track record because of how that jay Z Diddy
- 13:05Speaker 2: sexual a SOT allegation glawsuit went where he claimed that
- 13:08Speaker 2: they assaulted this woman back in two thousand, another woman
- 13:10Speaker 2: at the VMA's and then jay Z came out fighting
- 13:14Speaker 2: hard and blew the whole case up. Showed so many
- 13:17Speaker 2: inaccuracies and so many inconsistencies that it was just it
- 13:19Speaker 2: was dropped. So thank you God for tuning in. I'll
- 13:23Speaker 2: let you guys know how court goes today. We should
- 13:25Speaker 2: have an official start of Drury deliberations by the end
- 13:28Speaker 2: up today. But again, things are moving, things change. It
- 13:31Speaker 2: all depends on timing. But you know, I'll keep you
- 13:33Speaker 2: guys abreast of what's going down every step of the way.
- 13:36Speaker 2: At the end of the day, y'all could be anywhere
- 13:38Speaker 2: talking to anybody about all these things, but y'all are
- 13:40Speaker 2: right here with me. The latest with Lauren La Rosa Lowriders.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I appreciate you, guys
- 13:44Speaker 1: And I will see you in my next episode.
