on a colleague's recommendation, i watched The September Issue, a movie documentary about the REAL woman who inspired the book the devil wears prada. the documentary was created in 2009, 7 years after Lauren Weisberger wrote her bestselling book.
Anna Wintour, aka the ice queen and editor in chief of Vogue, didn't seem so icy to me. i thought she appeared to be human, really. let's put it this way, she is only doing her job and making sure that nothing but the best is being brought to her readers.
i bet that if a man was doing the same thing, nothing would be said. having said that though, it could be her way telling her story and they could be showing her on her good days.
i found it strange how she was often shown talking with her arms folded... almost as if she was feeling uncomfortable.
it's nice to be able to see what goes on behind the scenes in order to meet deadlines in a fashion magazine. the september issue was featured because it is the bumper issue of the entire year for the fashion magazine industry.
in a lot of ways, it is true that fashion magazines decide what is the "ïn" thing for the moment.
Watching the whole thing made me want to be more fashion conscious... maybe i should do a little shopping :)
