The September Issue : A Vogue / Anna Wintour Documentary

[thiago:)]

I think that Meisel and I&V's eds were the best, because McDean and Demarchelier's were so boring... Not to mention Sienna's ed... She wore the worst outfit from Givenchy Couture.
But this documentary seems great.

Agreed with you, Klein's editorial on ecology was very good too

I wonder if we'll get to see any editorial shootings in the film (esp I want to see Meisel, but I know we wouldn't see the man himself )

Oh yes, Klein's ed with Shalom was very good
I hope so, but with Meisel must be hard... Because he doesn't seem to like much attention... Maybe he thinks that other cameras besides his ones are a good way to bother him... I remember that Vogue US March 2008 with Drew, shot by him, had a making of video, but with just an interview with her... No ed shooting like Testino's february with Bosworth.

And in Madonna for LV campaign S/S 09 video you just really see the hair and make-up process.......oh well Meisel is Meisel.

Is it true they photoshopped Sienna's face onto a different body for the cover?

on her body, but they merged two different pictures.

US Vogue editor Anna Wintour and her team retouched a photograph of Sienna Miller for the magazine's front cover after complaining her smile was too "toothy", it has emerged.

The revelation was contained in a fly-on-the-wall documentary about the magazine, The September Issue, which was screened for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival.
The documentary, put together by veteran producer and director RJ Cutler, lifts the curtain on Vogue's production process for the most important issue of the year.

In it, staff are seen despairing over the state of their cover star in pictures taken by the world-renowned Italian photographer Mario Testino.
Wintour, 58, who is said to have been the inspiration for the boss from hell in The Devil Wears Prada, memorably played on screen by Meryl Streep, is shown complaining about her being "toothy" while other staff are concerned by the number of fillings she has.

At the last minute, staff are reduced to superimposing one picture of her face onto another of her body.

One viewer who watched the documentary told arts news website The List: "It must be awful for Sienna to see. Anna keeps complaining she is too 'toothy' and the other staff are worried she has too many fillings. The editors hint at Sienna to cut her hair and she ignores them, which worried them even more.
"It was funny, but probably not for her."

However, Vogue's head of publicity insisted the retouching was not personal.
Head of communications Patrick O'Connell told the Daily Mirror: "While some retouching is a fact for any cover, no one is more convinced of Ms Miller's beauty than Vogue. The fact she appeared on the magazine's September cover, our most important issue of the year, is a testimony to this truth."
Miss Miller's US publicist Leslie Sloan told the paper: "Sienna Miller is the first person to admit that her photos are always retouched – no one is ever that perfect."

How long is the documentary on for?

Can't hardly wait to see this documentary. Finally I can see the real devil wears prada.

^ Yes!!!

weren't the filmmakers featured in an ed in that September issue? I seem to remember Caroline Trentini jumping with a cameraman~

Very, very excited to see this film this fall!!!

 

[birdofparadise]

It's been really interesting to see the extended chunk on fashionista and then rehit the issue. I remember at first flip through thinking the pink in the daria-real-world-brooklyn edit at the back was kind of weird, now it has some context!

Apparently the documentary will hit the big screen in the autumn this year. To me that's waaaaaaay to far away and I certainly hope the date is subject to change and I'll go to sleep tonight praying that it will leak out before September this year.

hey guys, I didn't notice there was a thread about the film before, but I saw it when it was playing at Sundance, so I thought I'd share. I definitely enjoyed it a lot, although I think the people who I saw it with who were not into fashion liked it a lot more than me because they had no idea what goes into making a magazine or how powerful Anna is. But the film is really about Grace; it made me appreciate her so much more! There really wasn't anything scandalous about Anna... I wouldn't be surprised if she put on a good face for the camera to tone down the infamous bitchiness. I heard some people on the shuttle back to the center of town saying that they were disappointed with it, but I think most fashion junkies will enjoy it!

I just tried to purchase tickets for 'The September Issue' screening at Sydney Film Festival but they are all sold out! Any suggestions on how I could get to see it?

 

[samoanceleb]

same here i want to know also ... want to get some tickets ...

Hmm... as safe and boring (and cold) as Anna seems (and is when you judge her based on Vogue output), I have to say it was heartwarming to see a woman in control in that clip. I don't mean that in a generic way. I mean, it was nice to see Anna really giving constructive criticism. It's something I would appreciate from her if I was ever sitting across from her. Interesting. Can't wait to see the movie now.
