Is It Vogue To Take the Subway to Work, Or Can I Keep My Limo?

The New York Post reported on January 13, 2010:

"Will Anna Wintour soon be taking the 1 train to work? Senior Vogue staffers are being told their private cars and cabs are being killed, and they have to take the subway. Sources said new publisher Susan "Cab-Killer" Plagemann is behind the move to make more of the magazine's designer-heeled brigade take mass transit. Our source said, "Senior people have been told they must take more subways to meetings as opposed to Town Cars to save money." Even associate publisher Lottie Oakley had to ride underground last week back to Vogue's Times Square offices, the source added. A Vogue rep refused to comment."

Vogue magazine will spend mucho dinero to send Anna Wintour and her minions on a European fashion vacation for the fall fashion shows, the New York Post reported on August 21, 2009:

"Condé's flagship Vogue, which is sticking to its tradition of putting its editors, including the imperial Anna Wintour, up at only the finest hotels.

According to sources, Wintour's European entourage, which is usually about 10 people including her creative director, fashion director, several top stylists, European market editor, beauty editor and Publisher Tom Florio, is estimated to cost the company close to $250,000 in travel expenses.

A source said Wintour stays at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, while underlings are sent to the Crillon and the George V.

"It's a little bit of a two-tier system over there," said one rival editor. "There's Vogue, and then there's everyone else, Glamour and Allure and the all the rest."
