If Fashion is a religion, Vogue magazine is the bible. The September Issue just came out on DVD. It's the documentary version of The Devil Wears Prada. But the real life personalities are far more hilarious then any scripted character. The movie focuses on the editors of American Vogue magazine in 2007 as they put together the all important September issue - the largest magazine of the year, and the longest magazine EVER published. Anna Wintour is the icy editor in chief. Impossibly skinny and always hiding behind her large designer sunglasses. She's decisive. She's cold. Everyone at Vogue is afraid of her. Then there's her right hand woman - Grace Coddington. Anna's polar opposite. She's wildly creative. She's warm. Everyone at Vogue loves her. Anna is the business woman. Grace is the artist. Watching them butt heads is hilarious! Add to this the LARGER then life personality of editor at large Andre Leon Talley and you've got comic gold. Seriously, this man is amazingness. It's worth watching the movie just to see the scene where he plays tennis - wearing a giant Louis Vitton towel around his neck and the diamond covered watch (his version of a tennis bracelet he explains). And I thought my Lululemon running gear was fancy - Ha!If you're at all interested in fashion or publishing, it's really a VERY entertaining film. Watch as Anna and crew comment again and again about Sienna Miller's (September's cover girl) teeth and hair (they are shocked that she won't chop off her hair for their shoot!).
It's a famine of beauty, honey. My eyes are starhhhving for beauty!!
