I know I'm eight years late, but I finally got around to watching The September Issue, and I must say it is Amazing! Watching it in the midst of creating my own September-caliber issue was so hopeful, informative and inspiring. It opened up the creative process of the magazine and caused critique within my own work and progress so far.
One of my favorite parts of the movie was Grace Coddington. I LOVE GRACE CODDINGTON. Grace's persona is much smaller than that of larger than life Andre Leon Talley, and some of the other more notable editors, so it's easy to not realize what a great contribution she is to the magazine. Grace has a natural ability and eye for fashion and styling and it really is her life. Watching her passionately fight for her spreads to be inclcuded, slightly breakdown when they get overlooked, and her not too in your face but still beaming smirk of happiness once she realizes that the Septmeber Issue was essentially her issue, helped make the movie so much of what it is.
Watching the September Issue has totally rejuvianted me, and I feel extremely inspired and motivated to produce an amazing, stellar issue of Vogue, that more than anything shares the Super Power of Fashion.
And For the Record, the film just reconfirmed my belief all things Anna Wintour.
