September Issue-R.J.Cutler


So I saw September issue like almost a month ago and I wrote things about September issue on my notebook. But I was being very lazy and didn't put this note on the blog.
So here it is,

Film has been very close to fashion. Directors used fashion to give another aspects on their film. For example fashion that Alfred Hitchcock used in film even influenced the fashion world and named as "Alfred Hitchcock Style." So it's not really surprising that film world tried to sneak in to the fashion kingdom, Vogue. Where there is a King named Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief and a queen named Grace Coddington , creative director. I can't lie that I've been always interested in Fashion. I memorized designers and brands names, even though I had to memorize vocabularies for my test. I spent all of my money on buying magazines, fashion was everything for me before I met film. I even applied to Parsons for fashion design. I still have my love for fashion and fashion will be always my love. I wanted to be an editor in Vogue, it was my life long dream so I do have many things to say bout September Issue.

Even though, I love fashion and vogue, I didn't know that September Issue is most biggest and most important issue for whole year. Even my friend who I went with who's major is in Design and Management (equal to fashion major almost) didn't even know about this too. So there is a point, new information. Fashion has been revealed almost everything but people never really knew about how things work in fashion magazine. Well, there was a movie about it like "Devil wears Prada," even though it does have some truth still it's fiction. So director, R.J.Cutler follows mainly everything in Vogue. Follows photo shooting, fitting, decision making to war between king and queen. I think what mostly made people drawn to this film was fashion and the fight. Because we never really knew who can be against Anna Wintour. I think the tension between Grace and Anna made this film very interesting, without that tension, this film is another film that shows fashion world. It showed us not only fashion figure of Anna Wintour but her real life, and her real thoughts about it. It didn't try to cover bad thins about fashion that they've been trying to hide, it showed everything which made this film real. A lot of times, I don't really like documentary even it's about fashion but this was one of the interesting documentary that I saw. It's funny, witty and fashionable.
