The newsstand cover of Architectural Digest’s “Celebrities at Homes” issue, featuring Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, has come under fire.
According to WWD, Condé Nast artistic director and Vogue editor Anna Wintour did not like the styling of the cover, which led to “tense moments” with AD editor Margaret Russell. Fans on AD’s Instagram were also upset, calling the cover “tasteless and disappointing,” among other things.
An AD spokesperson defended the Kardashian cover, telling WWD “Margaret Russell chose to do two covers, a celebrity-driven one for newsstand to introduce the magazine to new readers, and another featuring a beautiful interior for our subscribers to enjoy.”
We don’t know what everyone expected.
