Wintour of discontent

Oh dear, Pixie Geldof and Alexa Chung might have been bright young things hanging around London Fashion Week, but there is one woman whom they didn't impress – legendary American Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The Daily Mirror recounted: "As Pixie and Alexa broke all the fashion rules of decorum – hugging and stroking one another as the models strutted their stuff – Anna just flared. Tutting loudly, the incensed matriarch shuffled away from the frolicking duo, and then away from them. Clutching her BlackBerry and diary her knuckles turned white and her mouth pursed as the pair continued nattering." Wintour subjected the pair to a frosty stare, which seemed to chasten them. As the Mirror put it, "It's safe to say neither will be on the cover of Vogue any time soon ... sorry dahlings."
