Behind the Scenes at Vogue
Filmmaker R.J. Cutler’s The September Issue is a fascinating look at the most powerful woman in fashion, Anna Wintour The film has just been released on DVD, and is a rare glimpse inside the fashion industry and the empire that is Anna’s and Vogue’s.
Now we rarely buy DVDs, but the additional DVD with indepth footage not in the film makes it well worth buying the DVD. It includes visits with Anna to the Paris showrooms of some of fashion’s top couture designers (you’ll feel like you’re there), and conference room meetings with Vogue staffers discussing an upcoming shoot with Michelle Obama (they do not love all her designers).
An intimate, funny and surprising look at Anna Wintour and her team of larger-than-life editors as they create this must-have Bible of fashion, Cutler explores the untouchable glamour of Wintour’s Vogue to reveal the extraordinarily passionate people at its heart. He takes us behind the scenes at Fashion Week, to Europe, on shoots and reshoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous, entertaining, and sometimes emotionally demanding process.
At the eye of this annual fashion hurricane is the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, incomparable Creative Director and fashion genius. They are perfectly matched for the age-old conflict between creator and curator. Through them, we see close-up the delicate creative chemistry it takes to remain at the top of the ever-changing fashion field.
We were transfixed!
