Every now and then I like to kick back and spend a good 45 minutes watching HD trailers of what movies are up and coming. This time around I’ve come across The September Issue. In a sense, it’s like a real-life The Devil Wears Prada. The film follows Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue for the past 20 years– aka, the one who has the last word. The one who can make or break a design or line. The alpha female. You see elevated designers like Vera Wang, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Oscar de le Renta heavily weighted by her opinion. You see Vogue employees extra dutiful and desperate for her approval. It’s a fascinating dynamic and on a larger scale, indicative of the kind of society we live in. That’s a whole other post but in short, intimidating and idolatrous. Apparently, fashion is a $300 billion global enterprise and even as resourceful as i am, I’m still a part of this. I’m enticed and curious, the film releases August 28th in New York and September 11th in select cities. I hope “select cities” means one near me.

I actually liked The Devil Wears Prada and, for someone who’s not really into fashion, I think this looks interesting. I’d watch it. But probably on dvd.
i love The Devil Wears Prada (film), it’s SO entertaining. maybe i’ll get around to reading the book sometime.
also, i was in Chapters today and saw the Vogue 2009 September Issue. it is indeed tres thick. Charlize Theron is on the cover.
haha, I was at Shoppers yesterday and saw the Vogue 2009 September Issue too and it reminded me of your post, so I thought I would give it a flip through. The first like 50 pages or something were all ads — I didn’t even get to check out any of the actual articles. And it was kind of difficult for me to differentiate between ad or article too. I wonder how much it costs to get an ad in there.
