(Never mind that the issue’s sales reportedly [failed to meet expectations](http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/05/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-vogue-cover-sales-lower-than-expected/ "undefined").) But during a talk at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, _Vogue_ editor Anna Wintour said being the #worldsmosttalkedaboutmagazine has always been the goal — while also suggesting that the two stars are not “deeply tasteful” people. “I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover it would be a rather boring magazine,” Wintour said. (Is she unaware that, as far as Kim covers go, the _Vogue_ appearance was about as tasteful as you can get? Did the [_Paper_ cover break the Internet](http://time.com/3580977/kim-kardashian-break-the-internet-butt/ "undefined") at Condé Nast?) “Nobody would talk about us. It’s very important that people do talk about us.” Wintour sounds like she’s throwing a lot of shade at the couple, but the rest of the editor’s comments appear to be complimentary. She said Estée Lauder’s decision to make Kardashian’s half-sister Kendall Jenner their new face was “fantastic,” and Wintour also said she has a long history of putting controversial celebrities (such as Madonna) on the cover of the magazine and helping make them “part of the establishment.” “I hope another Kim Kardashian comes this year!” Wintour concluded. The Internet has been warned. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3595368/anna-wintour-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-vogue-cover/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3595368/anna-wintour-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-vogue-cover/"},"headline":"Anna Wintour Implies Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Not 'Deeply Tasteful'","datePublished":"2014-11-19T19:03:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:33:11.286Z","description":"\"I hope another Kim Kardashian comes this year!\" said the Vogue editor","url":"https://time.com/3595368/anna-wintour-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-vogue-cover/","keywords":["celebrities","Kanye West","Vogue","Kim Kardashian","Kendall Jenner"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt39c7431a0d5278cd/6987631855a8591812a83783/kardashian-west-vogue.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt39c7431a0d5278cd/6987631855a8591812a83783/kardashian-west-vogue.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Vogue Kanye West & Kim Kardashian","caption":"Vogue Kanye West & Kim Kardashian","creditText":"Vogue","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3595368/anna-wintour-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-vogue-cover/","name":"Anna Wintour Implies Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Not 'Deeply Tasteful'"}}]}] ```
