Graydon Carter: Vanity Fair 'worked' the 'Net on Caitlyn

Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter knew Caitlyn Jenner's cover would be popular, but this popular? He said "We decided to work with the Internet rather than just complain about the Internet as a monthly magazine, and it turned out to be amazing." carter commented while seated front row at a Gucci cruisewear fashion show. By "working," Carter meant the magazine's choice to release the cover on social media and simultaneously offer prospective readers the chance to buy the article on iTunes for $4.99.
Jessica Diehl, the magazine's fashion and style director who also attended the Gucci show, said .Jenner's Old Hollywood style in a creamy corset for the cover and classic gowns in gold sequins and black were important statements for her. And Jenner — formerly Bruce — was definitely in charge when it came to her debut in the photos shot by Annie Leibovitz. Diehl said, "I think it was very important for her to come out in a very iconic, timeless but very open way,"
