The September Issue

This is a documentary film about the fashion industry lead by Anna Wintour, the chief editor of Vogue. The film follows the making of the 2007 September issue which ended up weighting five pounds and 836 pages. (Though I don't understand why people think it's really great thing to have 836 pages. It just heavy. Nothing else for me :P )In this film, you will see all the people just agree on her except for Grace Coddington. She has enough passion to dare to stand up to Anna and everyone must be touched with her. Anna and Grace agree not always and sometimes fight because both of them are stubborn, but their relationship looks to be good. They trust and respect each other.

Anna has two children. One of them were shown up in this film. She is not interested in fashion industry and she is going to go to law school. Here is her comment.

it's a really weired industry to me, it's just not for me. i would never want to take it too seriously. Some of the people in there act like fashion is life. And it's really amusing, and you can make fun of them. But for that to be your career, there are other things out there, i think.

I'm much in agreement with her.
