#2I honestly admire the fashion editor. Her life is laser focused on looking great and tracking the developments of high fashion. Events that shake the hoi polloi to their core barely even register to her. A queen.

#3The suggestion is that in the face of something overwhelmingly weird, you cling to whatever structure you've got.

#4I actually think it's unfortunate that she didn't focus more on fashion.
There are so, so many accounts of 9/11 that focus on the facts and the immediate tragedy. But I'm willing to bet that 9/11 impacted industries and people significantly even if they weren't directly involved.
I have little to no interest in fashion, but I'd find an article on the impact of 9/11 on the fashion capital of North America a much more interesting read than another collection of facts.

#5She is focused on a level I envy. Just our interests differ. Won’t judge that.

#6I suppose you can't really fault a person whose professional life requires her to view every event with the question, "How does this affect the fashion industry?" for viewing the attack on the twin towers in exactly that way — especially in this article, which was published as the "Fashion Notebook" column. The tweetstorm blames her for not relating what was told her by survivors and first responders, but those stories were probably passed on to her editors and used in other articles. This article is, obviously, shallow, which is not a fault: fashion is literally not even skin deep.

#7I actually kind of like this; she's honest about what she experienced and she recognizes that fashion will take a back-burner for awhile.
People experience shock in various ways and not everyone tries to make everything directly about whatever is happening; most of America at least pretended to plug away at their jobs that day.

I mean, there's tattoos and piercings... those are at least skin deep.

I was going to nitpick about your usage of the hoi polloi, because “hoi” means “the.”
But this is the wiki entry: “Some linguists argue that, given that hoi is a definite article, the phrase "the hoi polloi" is redundant, akin to saying "the the masses". Others argue that this is inconsistent with other English loanwords.[11] The word "alcohol", for instance, derives from the Arabic al-kuhl, al being an article, yet "the alcohol" is universally accepted as good grammar.[12]”
