It’s a well known fact that September is the January of fashion. So it comes as no surprise that a documentary about Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue, premiers this fall.
In 2003, Wintour’s former personal assistant wrote the best-selling novel, “The Devil Wears Prada.” Later turned into a feature film starring Meryl Streep as a terrifying British-American fashion editor, the portrayal of the tyrannical boss turned a spotlight on Wintour’s personal life, which it’s been said mirrors the cold, emotionally detached character. Wintour has never given her opinion on the film, but fashionphiles can gain a glimpse behind the fiction with the premier of The September Issue, which follows Wintour during the publishing of Vogue’s most important installment of the year.
Known to be an outrageously demanding boss, Wintour prides herself on her unconventional fashion choices and risque photo shoots.
“Fashion is not about looking back. It’s about looking forward,” says Wintour – the woman who has plastered multiple shots of 50’s and 60’s styles on the pages of Vogue. Not to mention, she’s sported a bob and thick black shades since the age of sixteen-interesting. But love her or hate her, she’s notably one of fashion’s great minds, inspiring designers, models and journalists on a global scale. She’s been at the helm of one of the most influential cultural institutions in North America for years, and her influence is undeniable. We can’t wait to peek behind the clothing racks of Wintour’s working world.
