The September Issue
 
 

 

R J Cutler | USA | 2009  

An unprecedented look behind the scenes of the world’s most influential fashion magazine, Vogue. Under the leadership of legendary editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, the editorial staff set out to assemble their biggest issue ever.

Award-winning director R.J. Cutler takes an intimate, and often funny, look inside the hallowed hallways of Vogue. Jet-setting through the fashion capitals of the world, he chronicles the tedium of staff meetings, the scrutinising of designers’ new collections from the front row vantage of the catwalk shows and the chaos of a high-gloss cover photo shoot in the streets of Rome. He also reveals the stressful, entertaining and demanding process it takes to create this fashion bible and most importantly, the extraordinarily passionate people at its heart.

Cutler neither fawns over his subjects, nor belittles their absolute devotion to an industry that is so fickle, while one can sense the trust he builds up with his subjects; who often bemoan each others’ creative decisions. Even the infamous Ann Wintour, parodied by Meryl Streep’s inspired performance in The Devil Wears Prada, drops her guard in a moment of uncharacteristic candour, when she reflects on the perceived meaninglessness of the fashion industry.
