The September Issue is a documentary film which delivers an insiders account of the fashion machine called US Vogue. As the most powerful consumer influence in a 300-billion dollar industry, The Vogues September Issue is the most ambitious and comprehensive trend catalogue each year. Over the last 20 years, the US Vogue has been piloted by the devil wearing Prada, Anna Wintour, and the film chronicles Anna as the ruthless curator of the worlds most talented designers, creative directors, and photographers.

The movie was an interesting insight into a world that’s seems to be more about image design that about fashion design. I find myself drawn to that kind of world, not so much because of the clothing, but because of the way it celebrates and harbors photographic talent. The film shows some behind the scenes footage of shoots with celebrity photographers Mario Testino and David Sims, and how they are close collaborators with the Magazine in editing and fabricating fashion’s international glamour culture.

Film was directed by R.J. Cutler and below is a trailer from the film.
