Early Friday morning, shortly after 4 a.m. in Milan, New York magazine editor-in-chief David Haskell—who’s been flitting around at Fashion Week, donning show-specific outfits (in Prada for Prada, etcetera)—was notified that a fast-metastasizing internal scandal he had been managing remotely had finally gone very public. As Oliver Darcy reported for all to read, Olivia Nuzzi, the magazine’s star political reporter, had been suspended from New York due to a “personal relationship” with her former profile subject Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the brain-wormed black sheep of Camelot and former third-party presidential candidate turned Trump endorser.
