Many may have hoped that Anna Wintour’s humiliating Galliano catastrophe would finally convince her to loosen her corset-tight grip on the fate of the fashion industry. But it looks as if they’ll be disappointed.

The top job at powerful industry association CFDA became available last week when “Stone Cold” Steven Kolb stepped down after physically restraining protesters at a Fashion Week show.

And who should get it but longtime Wintour acolyte, Hildy Kuryk, who worked at the editor’s right hand as Vogue’s executive director of communications from 2013 to 2017.

After Kuryk was named as interim CEO of the CFDA on Monday, one fuming fashion insider asked: “[Is it the] Council of Fashion Designers of Anna?”

Kuryk also founded consultancy Artemis Strategies, which works with both Conde Nast and The Met, where Wintour is also a powerhouse.

“It’s obviously an Anna hire,” one source told us — an assessment echoed by multiple insiders.

The move has won some applause — and Kuryk’s a widely respected figure on Seventh Avenue — but also has caused some frustration, with one insider telling us people “are sick” of Wintour lording over the industry. 

“It’s another opportunity for Vogue and Anna to be running everything,” sighed one fed-up insider.  “The fashion industry is not just Anna. There are so many people with a stake and interest in it. It’s just Anna, Anna, Anna. I think people are sick of it.”

They asked if CFDA actually stands for “Council of Fashion Designers of Anna?”

“It was always going to be Anna pushing someone through,” says another source.

The CFDA and Vogue work together closely on several initiatives, including the Fashion Fund, which helps mentor young designers.

They recently worked together on United Flags of Fashion, in which CFDA members redesigned state flags that were displayed at Rockefeller Center.

Several sources told Page Six that Kuryk is “smart” and a “good executive.”

And two noted that the organization could use someone “from outside,” the CFDA and a “fresh pair of eyes.” 

The organization, which puts together the Fashion Week calendar and offers grants to young designers, is working with Karen Harvey Consulting Group to get a long-term replacement, with a timeline of around three to six months.

“There are people coveting that job and it behooves them to do a wide search and talk to a lot of people before they name a replacement,” said an insider.

Wintour made a massive misstep earlier this year by announcing that John Galliano — who had been convicted of antisemitic hate speech in 2011 — would be the star of this year’s Met Gala, only for Galliano to drop out amid relentless opposition.
