the september issue


'Fashion is all about looking forward, not looking back' Anna Wintour

For fashion aficionado's the upcoming Wellington Film Festival has quite a few visual treats instore. Coco Before Chanel, Valentino: The Last Emperor, and The September Issue, all have me 'ready to reinterpret my look'!
If you were in any doubt about the inspiration behind 'The Devil Wears Prada' then The September Issue will clear that up for you. This docu-movie is a 9 month all access pass behind the scenes at US Vogue as legendary fashion editor Anna Wintour (Nuclear Wintour) and her team create the biggest issue of the fashion year - The September Issue (which in 2007 when this movie was made had 840 pages, 727 of which were advertisements). Wintour famously once had Milan fashion week moved to fit into her schedule, and proves she doesn't just run a magazine: she runs all of fashion. (Dom Post)
"We travel to haute-couture shows and photo shoots, private breakfasts with major advertisers, and even into Wintour's office (which funnily enough, looks scarily similar to Meryl Streep's in 'Devil Wears Prada') for tense and aesthetic & financial standoffs with Grace Coddington, Vogue's Creative director" (Film Festival Guide). To whet your appetite here is a preview of the movie. I can't wait! Thanks Jan & VIN for getting me organised!

  2. I'm very excited about Film Fest this year, and we were very quick to make bookings. Coco before Chanel should be exciting too. Love the little preview you've put on for Sept Issue.
