The Public Relations Disaster Behind Vogue and the Met Gala Controversy
INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Jeremy Murphy.
On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price interviews former CBS TV Vice President, Jeremy Murphy.
Jeremy Murphy discusses the major public relations backlash surrounding Vogue and the Met Gala due to Anna Wintour’s decision to feature designer John Galliano as the event’s theme. Galliano, the former creative director of Dior, was ousted from the high-fashion world following an incident where he made anti-Semitic slurs while intoxicated, leading to years in “fashion purgatory.” Despite Wintour’s efforts to rehabilitate his career and push the theme forward, the choice sparked severe backlash, particularly among members of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s board. The situation escalated into a full-blown PR nightmare, ultimately forcing Galliano to withdraw himself from the showcase. Murphy highlights this misstep as an example of Vogue and Wintour losing their cultural relevance and influence, mistaking former authority for the ability to dictate trends and manage public perception.
According to a statement, “Jeremy Murphy is a sarcastic, embittered veteran of the media industry. Founder of 360bespoke, a respected boutique PR agency in New York, Murphy handles a full roster of clients in the lifestyle, beauty, fashion, and start-up fields. Previously, he was Vice President of Communications at CBS, where he worked for 14 years. There, he oversaw PR for many of its divisions and created its glossy magazine Watch. Murphy started as a journalist, working with Knight Ridder newspapers and Mediaweek. He is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University and lives in New York with his cat, Champers.”
