Cathy Criticize Suzy For Losing Its Independent Thinking Ability

Recently, the latest issue of Systemmagazine magazine, one of the 15000 words of the depth topic, wrote a dialogue between the veteran Fashion Critic Cathy Horyn and the magazine. Cathy Horyn is famous for its unflattering and flattery, even for its companion and commentator Suzy Menkes.

In the article, Cathy Horyn did not hesitate to criticize Suzy Menkes for writing soft articles for brand promotion five years ago. The brand has an indissoluble influence on the Critics Circle, and it is polluting the writing environment.

At present, the article has not been put online, but the Business of Fashion (Fashion Business Review) has extracted the story of Horyn's recalling career and analyzing the recent fashion industry.

Jonathan Wingfield of System magazine asked Horyn how Menkes looked at when she looked at fashion PR companies and brand promotion.

When asked if Horyn believed that all brand publicity would have a negative impact, she replied, "I remember that Suzy Menkes wrote something related to Herald Tribune five years ago.

She has been promoting this or that.

。

Of course, what she did is absolutely right, promotion is effective, and promotion of brands has become the key point.

Then it began to become part of her writing. She began to write articles using the company's tone and way.

I will think, "wait, Suzy, why do you work for these people? You serve the news media, you are a critic, please try to keep your independent thinking ability."

People may say that I am optimistic about writing, but I think the brand has a terrible influence on writing. It is polluting the environment of our writing. "

The blunt language style and extreme statements have been controversial before, for example, in 2013, Cathy Horyn published an article in the New York Times.

After taking office, she removed the original brand name "Yves", saying that it not only cut off the connection with the brand founder Yves Saint Laurent (YSL), but also abandoned the elegant taste and feminine power of the brand representative.

And by using other people's lips, these clothes look like Topshop or secondhand shop fashions.

Therefore, Hedi Slimane was put on the "black list" of the show, and the brands such as GiorgioArmani, Dolce & Gabbana once refused her from the show.

Now, what kind of industry response can these people get from their peers' speech?

For example, Karl Lagerfeld indicated that he preferred to see the gorgeous magazine which was edited by Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfeld; Vanity Fair said that the article of Cathy was like a fashion show.

Suzy Menkes, who is known as the busiest and most low-key person during the fashion week, has been known for more than 30 years of fashion reviews. It has always been known for its fashionable arguments and venomous tongue. Sharp and penetrating words, from fear of offending people, to real and assertive words, has made her the most influential fashion critic.

In the face of such criticisms as Cathy Horyn, how Suzy Menkes will respond, journalists continue to focus on the dynamic development of events.
