The September Issue

OK, the second you fashionistas get a chance to go and see this movie – RUN !

I went to see this movie last week, on a Friday night, in Manhattan, with my really-amazing boyfriend. Why is he amazing? Becasue besides him, there were 3 other men in the audience, and the rest were just girls and women. Yeah, it’s the perfect girlie movie, but he actually liked it and laughed in the funny parts of it. So, if you really want to, it’s no problem to drag your bf to see it with you. It’s just a great movie.

As a Vogue addict and a huge admirer, the movie finally allowed me to get an inner peak at the making-of the biggest issue ever: The September 2007 Vogue Issue. It looks so easy to just buy the issue and read it for a couple of hours without being able to even imagine how much work was put in to  the making of it. And that’s what it is – a lot of hard work. More than I could ever imagine.

Also, it lets you as close as you can get to the one and only, Anna Wintour. It can’t get any closer than this one. The closeups on her face are very close, I can now remember by heart every little detail of her face behind the Chanel sunglasses she never takes off, and to hear her voice which is usually never heard.

Above and before all, it’s a celebration of fashion and styling. The clothes are amazing, I was blown away in my armchair even if we’re still, let’s not forget, talking about two years ago’s collections. Through this movie, you get to see how those who are in position of making the call decide for us and pick everything we might like or dislike in the upcoming seasons. Anna Wintour actually chooses for me, and I can’t even know what was left outside and away from my own sense of fashion and style. You know what? I don’t mind her doing that. Especially because I trust her to do it right, and because she teases my curiosity and makes me go and do my own further research after I see her starters.

If you like fashion, and want to know what Vogue is all about – go see it. It’s a piece of pure fun.

I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!
