Lochte, who shared this year's worst-selling Vogue cover with Serena Williams and Hope Solo, naturally assumed that fashion's biggest banana would love to see his smiling, vacant face. According to reports, she seemed to be fine with it right up until Lochte extended his hand and rubbed her knee in greeting. Photo evidence was posted to Twitter by none other than Lochte's own manager, Erika Wright. Styleite's account: "We saw [Wintour's] face go from bemused acceptance to utter shock."
Even though I have absolute faith in Lochte's judgement, forever and ever, the Knee-Grab may not be the best way to say 'hey' to fashion's most feared and powerful editor.
But I get where he's coming from. The air kiss is just so predictable and Lochte is a creative thinker. Could there possibly be a better way to greet Anna Wintour?
Some suggestions:
