Kate Betts Biography

Kate Betts is one of the most popular and richest Former who was born on March 8, 1964 in New York, United States.

Betts was born and raised in New York City. Her father, Hobart Betts, was a prominent architect; her mother Glynne was a photographer. She attended Princeton University, where she majored in European history and began writing and reporting for The Daily Princetonian. After graduating in 1986, she went to work in France as a freelance journalist for Metropolitan Home, European Travel & Life and the International Herald Tribune. An article she wrote for one of these publications about boar hunting in Brittany caught the attention of publishing mogul John Fairchild. He hired her as a features writer for Fairchild Publications’ Paris bureau, overseeing fashion coverage for Women’s Wear Daily, W and M magazines.

In the late 1990s, disagreements between the two over the magazine’s direction became more entrenched. Betts felt the magazine was losing its focus on fashion, while Wintour thought the popular culture angles Betts wanted were beneath Vogue’s readers. “I think Anna views her ideal reader as an Anne Bass type,” said a Vogue staffer later. “She thinks the Vogue reader doesn’t give a shit about hip hop”. Wintour began pairing Betts with other, more junior Vogue editors, whose journalistic credentials Betts had found lacking in comparison to her own. She especially disliked Plum Sykes, whom she reportedly described as “a pretentious airhead”.

After Bazaar, Betts began doing freelance work for The New York Times Style section, and elsewhere in the paper. One piece in the latter category, a highly negative 2003 review in the Book Review of Lauren Weisberger’s debut novel The Devil Wears Prada, the basis for the film of that name, attracted some criticism of its own. Weisberger had worked as one of Wintour’s personal assistants a few years earlier, and reportedly based her main character, Miranda Priestly, a tyrannical fashion magazine editor, on Wintour. At the end, Betts belittled Weisberger for “seem[ing] to have understood almost nothing about the isolation and pressure of the job her boss was doing, or what it might cost a person like Miranda Priestly to become a character like Miranda Priestly” despite her time at Wintour’s side.

Her review, it was noted, “alternates between sniping at the author and sucking up to former Vogue cronies.” “As far as book reviews go, Betts’ review isn’t an actual review”, said Gawker.com. “It’s really just an ethical analysis of Weisberger’s decision to trash her ex-boss in print”. “What more can I say? I can’t speak to anyone’s agenda”, Weisberger, who admitted she was curious as to why Betts had been assigned the first of two harsh reviews that ran in the Times’ pages, responded in a Salon.com interview. “I don’t know her. I can’t presume to know.” In her second novel, Everyone Worth Knowing, Weisberger had a character suggest that a pseudonymous online gossip columnist was “that ex-fashion editor—oh, what is her name? The one who keeps busy penning nasty book reviews”. It was read as a reference to Betts.
