Tom Ford Senior Citizen Ad The Reason French Vogue Editor In Chief Got Fired
Tom Ford's senior citizen spread for French Vogue's December issue, is said to have been the straw that broke the camel's back between Rotifeld and the higher ups at French Vogue. Roitfeld last month told a source that her bosses received complaints from advertisers over the Ford issue. “I was killed for that,” Roitfeld said. According to several close to the matter, Roitfeld offered to resign when the issue of her management came under question (she was frequently out of the office on shoots). She could have been bluffing, but her resignation was accepted.
Word to the wise, never offer up your resignation, no matter what! Management can be ruthless and take you up on your offer. Not only will you be jobless but not able to collect unemployment benefits. This is ok for Rotifeld because she's a season pro who will snag another gig in no time but for small time punks like us, do not try this at home lol.

Gap's President Marka Hansen Has Been Fired Over A Laundry List Of PR Mishaps
Last Monday January 31, 2011 Gap announced that Marka Hansen would be leaving the company (terminated). February 4, 2011 was her last day with the company. Gap has been dealing with a laundry list of public relation issues last year and presently. Read the mounting issues below.
Gap employs children in Indian sweatshops.
The children were hired by an unauthorized subcontractor used by one of the company’s Indian vendors to fill orders. Gap also dealt with similar allegations in 2000 and 2006.
The company’s new logo is a design abomination. (Surprised she survived this.)
Gap redesigned their iconic logo, and the resulting design looked like it was made on Microsoft Word but later return to it's original.
Gap’s FEED America bags were made in China.
Though promotional material claimed the Lauren Bush-designed bags were made in the U.S., tags on the inside of two of the five designs stated they were made in China.
A stolen Flickr image was used on a babyGap onesie. (LOL)
In a story that broke yesterday, it appears as though Gap printed a stylized version of a Flickr photo (taken by Chris Devers, who is in no way affiliated with the company) on one of its onesies.
