Anna Wintour in ‘The September Issue’
In The September Issue, viewers have an intimate, funny and surprising look of Anna Wintour, and her team of editors as they create this must-have “fashion bible”.
Anna Wintour is the British-American editor in chief of American Vogue and definitely the high priestess of the fashion world. Designers go to Wintour on which pieces should make it to the runway.. and I’m not talking just any fashion designers. We’re talking Oscar De La Renta, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld.. basically the who’s who of fashion.
Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) in The Devil Wears Prada was said to loosely portray Anna Wintour, although Wintour and Vogue dismissed those claims. Well, if Anna’s former assistant, Lauren Weisberger was the one who wrote it, she must have been certainly been inspired by SOMEONE.
When asked by David Letterman regarding the film and how it was based on her and her team, Anna replied, “I seem to remember that the movie was fiction.. and well, we really like fiction at Vogue“.
Well, I personally think Anna Wintour is brilliant!!
Check out the Official Trailer for the fashion documentary, The September Issue:
Every August a record-breaking number of people can’t wait to get their hands on the September issue of Vogue. The 2007 issue was and remains the biggest ever, weighing over four pounds, selling thirteen million copies, and impacting the $300-billion global fashion industry more than any other single publication. R.J. Cutler takes viewers behind the scenes at Fashion Week, to Europe, on shoots and re-shoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous, entertaining, and sometimes emotionally demanding process.
“Fashion is not about about looking back, but looking forward” - Anna Wintour
