Anna Wintour Kept Her Sunglasses On the Entire Time She Was Telling Pitchfork Staffers They Were Getting Laid Off, Writer Says


Condé Nast's Anna Wintour didn't remove her sunglasses the entire time she met with Pitchfork employees tell them they were losing their jobs.

“One absolutely bizarro detail from this week is that Anna Wintour — seated indoors at a conference table — did not remove her sunglasses while she was telling us that we were about to get canned,” Allison Hussey, a former Pitchfork staff writer, wrote on X. Condé Nast on Wednesday told staffers that Pitchfork, the music news and criticism site notoriously stingy with its praise that the company bought in 2015, will merge with men’s magazine GQ. The decision “was made after a careful evaluation of Pitchfork’s performance and what we believe is the best path forward for the brand so that our coverage of music can continue to thrive within the company,” Wintour, Condé Nast’s chief content officer and global editorial director of Vogue, wrote in a memo to staff.
