the september issue


just watched the september issue chronicling the making of vogue's yearly superissue. have reazlised that anna wintour is obsessed with people making a mockery of the fashion world. she brings it up a couple of times in the film and appears very fragile, unlike her usual tough-as-nails demeanor. i find it interesting that anna's daughter is not keen on following her mother's trail, not does she think fashion is the be-all-end-all of life. bee is far more easy going and down to earth that i had envisioned - i took quite a liking to her actually. grace coddington is an absolute delight. no surprise there - anyone that maintains a mammoth red mane has to have some spunk in them. i was aware that she was one of the top vogue staffers, but didn't know that it was quite to the extent that it is. i presumed that andre leon talley was more involved, perhaps just due to his overwhelming (and marvelous) presence. i also did not realize that anna possesses such enormous sway in the fashion industry, influencing collections, collaborations, etc. stefano pilati lost all confidence in her presence, turning into a babbling schoolgirl, something that thakoon confirmed when he mentioned his hand visibly shaking! altogether, a great behind-the-scenes look at vogue and the fashion industry.
