ROBIN Givhan, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion editor of the Washington Post, is moving back to DC after nine years in New York -- and some folks are wondering if the move was her idea or her boss's. "I'll continue to write about fashion, but will focus most of my attention on covering the Obamas," Givhan told Page Six. "Was it my choice? Of course. Who wouldn't jump at the opportunity to chronicle history?" But a source snarked, "I suspect that [new publisher] Katharine Weymouth wants her Washington Post fashion editor in Washington covering fashion in Washington." Givhan once applied for a job at the New York Times. "You could say that Time smen found her salary demands excessive," the source said. She went to Vogue instead and then to the Washing ton Post, where she kicked up controversy with an essay on Hillary Clinton's "unnerving" and "startling" cleavage. -NY Post PAGE SIX
