How could I resist naming the titans of the fashion industry to the Rollcall list this week?  On the one hand we have Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue, on the other hand is Carine Roitfeld, Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue.  Both were in the forefront this week, Ms. Wintour had her turn on 60 Minutes, and Ms. Roitfeld with a reporter from the Guardian UK.  Though emphasizing any discord between these two women has great entertainment value, we should not lose sight of their tremendous accomplishments.  Yes, we must take the high road.  Sure there have been rumors that Carine Roitfeld will replace Anna Wintour at American Vogue, but Ms. Roitfeld has dismissed those rumors.  The bottom-line is that they are two strong and powerful women with impeccable taste in fashion, and stellar reputations within the industry.  It is far more empowering to young women to focus on their achievements.  Let’s hope that more young women are learning that you can have a love of the finer things and still kick ass.  It is a delicate balance, but these women manage to keep stride in their stilettos.  It’s a testament of how hard work, sacrifice and passion can lead to fulfilling careers.
