The September issue - Magazine Research

I recently watched The September Issue, a documentary film about the behind the scenes drama that follows editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Vogue Magazine.It was directed by R.J. Cutler, and produced by Eliza Hindmarch, the film follows the making of the 2007 September issue. The film revolves around the making of the Vogue September Issue '07. The audience sees the trouble that goes into making the magazine, and the true passion that Grace Coddington, a former model turned creative director and the only person who dares to stand up to Anna Wintour, has for the highly regarded fashion magazine. In the film, Grace is often portrayed as the leading victim to Anna's aggressive personality. However, the relationship between Wintour and Coddington reveals itself to be highly symbiotic as Coddington's expertise and keen eye for fashion is proven when most of her ideas are printed in the final copy of the September Issue due to Wintour's final decision.
This film showed you the ins and outs of the fashion magazine lifestyle showing the harsh realties of the fashion world analysing the personal lifestyle of the editor Anna Wintour.

This documentary really seeked my attention as it made the magazine industry seem so much more real to me and made me feel that I could understand the lifestyles of the fashion world and how magazines are portrayed and targeted to certain audiences around the world.
