Apparently, not everyone at Vogue magazine was OK with this: Rumor: Was Carine Roitfeld Fired From Vogue?

The last straw came this month when LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault allegedly threatened Conde Nast International Chairman Jonathan Newhouse with the removal of all LVMH ads from the next issue of Vogue Paris. According to one source, Arnault hated the last issue—allegedly because it contained too few LVMH credits and because of the “poor taste” exercised in the young girls editorial—wherein the children are heavily made-up, “reclining on tiger-skins, or sprawled on beds,” wearing luxury adult garments, reports the Telegraph.

Conde Nast’s furor boiled over this past Friday morning and the Vogue staff learned about Roitfeld’s departure via an early a.m. email “talking about a mise à pied,” one source tells us, “which means, basically, she was fired.”
