The September Issue

Movie: The September Issue

I saw it on: September 15, 2009

Cast: Anna Wintour

Genre: Documentary

Synopsis: This documentary gives a behind the scenes look at what goes into the famous “September Issue” of Vogue magazine.  Much of this is accomplished by following around Anna Wintour – the incredibly influential editor of Vogue.

My two cents: Fashion is not my thing, but I found this documentary to be really interesting.  Meryl Streep’s “The Devil Wears Prada” character was supposedly based on Anna Wintour.  It was fascinating to see Anna Wintour at work.  Although the movie never showed Anna losing her temper, it was clear that darn near everyone in the world of fashion says “how high?” when Anna says “jump”.  I found it fascinating to see how smoothly she wields this power. 

Even if, like me, you care nothing for fashion; this movie is worth seeing.
