Whether a fan or indeed a part of the Fashion Industry, the brand "Vogue" is memorable and conjures up a certain image. Hell, even Madonna created a song about it. So it is with much anticipation that "The September Issue" doco is released. This feature doco goes behind the scenes at US Vogue's head office and into the lives of those who control Vogue in the making of their massive September Issue showcasing all that is fashionable for the new season.
Perhaps the most intriguing character though, is Anna Wintour played beautifully by.... herself. Anna's character is just made for a documentary to dissect. Her importance, influence and reserved nature just begs to be revealed, dissected and divulged. Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada was loosely based on Anna Wintour, as was the book of which the movie was adapted. However the true underdog in this film is creative director Grace Coddington. Her relationship with Anna and her pure artistic integrity is revealed as an integral part to the success of Vogue. Well worth a watch for those who love fashion but for any creative in general to see what success can mean and the personalities behind a glossy mag.
Featured above is the fantastic artwork for the key art and posters designed by Marcus Cobbledick, theatrical art director at Madman (the distributors in Australia).
