The September Issue



So I came across the trailer of the movie 'The September Issue' about a week ago, and since then, i've been itching to watch it!
Basically, 'The September Issue' is documentary about Anna Wintour and her work at Vogue, as the editor in chief. Anna's reign in the fashion world began about two decades ago, growing and growing as she grows along. Her personal life as a fashion queen has been kept a secret all along, as she constantly gave us this icy impression of herself. None the less, she remained a respectful figure. Or a humorous inspiration for a few movies. (Remember Edna from the incredibles? Or The 'Devil' from the Devil Wears Prada? Or Willy Wonka?)
Edna:
I'm not a fan of documentaries, but I just had to watch this! The trailer really attracts you to watching the full length version, but don't let it deceive you. The first twenty minutes were enjoyable I must say, but the rest was just an epic fail. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy watching it, but it didn't fulfill my expectations. One important factor, guys will NOT enjoy this. As for you ladies, it's a guilty must. It really took me into this glamorous life of what's within Vogue, and portrayed what it takes to work for fashion magazine. It's kind off 'Mode' from Ugly Betty, but a more realistic and 'british' version of which.
