• “The September Issue is a documentary film about the making of the September 2007 issue of US Vogue and will premiere this weekend at Sundance - Anna Wintour’s attending in support - . A first look is available with Anna grilling two editors on whether pink is the most appropriate message for September. Cutler filmed in the Vogue offices for eight months, coming away with 300 hours of footage, and even though the project was Anna-approved, he didn’t always feel welcome. Apparently, creative director Grace Coddington wasn’t a fan of Cutler - “The first thing she said to me was go away… She couldn’t throw us out of the building because she’s not the boss. Anna’s the boss and she had invited us in. But she was unhappy to see us. And when Grace is unhappy to see you, that’s not the place anyone wants to be. God bless her, she (eventually) gave us a chance.” Daughter Bee Shaffer, plus plenty of designers - Karl Lagerfeld and Nicolas Ghesquiere - make appearances, and there’s even an especially timely moment where Wintour ponders the end of her career.” Reports fashionologie.See the video here
