Some of the stuff in that trailer is hilarious...

The impression on her face when the assistant says that Testino did not like the Colosseum or some dress or whatever... utter terror and shock that someone obviously did not follow her orders... Classic!

^yes i actually think that the gazillion of editorials that she scrapped out was far more better than the usual amazed-jumping-laughing-studio-types to have made it. Yes you can see on the film the editorial with Sasha,Gemma,Lily,Agyness,Iselin and company, that was art (fitted for VI) and she managed to drop it.

WOW, I'm really curious to see this editorial. Was it shot by Steven Meisel? Is there any way of seeing it somewhere?

 

[Fiercification]

It's just outakes of the Paris editorial.

And the Raquel/Lily editorial was used in Vogue Nippon December 2007, shot by Inez and Vinoodh and styled by Edward Enninful, now it all makes sense, it was scrapped by Anna and the Nippon staff picked it up

 

[kellydior]

[Deslin]

I so need to see this!

 

[Xone]

its funny Edward Enningful's face when anna rejected his shooting....

 

[XavierRaphael]

On the August 28th, where will it be screened?

 

[Toxxxic]

Khyrk that editorial was not scrapped just that one image,
and I think it was because there is another old image in Vogue almost exactly like that.
It's from the Paris J"taime edit.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

You're wrong, yet again....

Button up your gladiators for a trip to '07, fashionistas! The trailer for The September Issue — the hotly-guarded, perhaps-unfavorable, partially-Hearst-produced documentary about Anna Wintour and American Vogue's biggest-ever issue, the 840-page, 727-ad September, 2007, behemoth — has leaked online.
Everyone wants to know what exactly goes on around the 12th floor of 4 Times Square. As the trailer states, one in ten U.S. women will get Vogue's September issue — which is a fantastically broad reach for a fashion title. How the sausage is made is a question that R. J. Cutler's documentary will, one hopes, answer in full. What we can tell from the trailer is this:
Wintour's legendary editorial nit-picking is not an exaggeration. In addition to replacing stylists, trashing finished shoots (including one with Hilary Rhoda and Chanel Iman, which never saw the light of ink), pre-approving all styling choices, and demanding a full, un-edited selection of shots from the photographers Vogue works with, she nay-says fonts. "This type seems so large, and pretentious," she mutters. "It looks like it's for blind people."
The trailer also makes clear that Wintour's interventions do not always redound to her title's benefit. The camera lingers over an image from stylist Grace Coddington and photographer Steven Meisel's 1920s-themed shoot, which Coddington reports her boss killed and re-shot at least three times.

from jezebel.com

The most interesting thing they mention is the scrapped Hilary and Chanel ed. I remember that Chanel said in a video interview in 2007 that she worked with Meisel again after the May 2007 cover shoot. To this day no Chanel by Meisel ed appeared in US Vogue. I wonder if the scrapped ed was the actual Meisel ed Chanel was talking about.

You're wrong, yet again....

I said correct me if i'm wrong, please do.

Because as I recall on Trunk Archive there are 2 images from that editorial that have been scrapped.
And I can also recall an old image in Vogue almost exactly like the one that was scrapped.
So please correct me if i'm wrong "yet again"

its funny Edward Enningful's face when anna rejected his shooting....

finally watch the trailer ...
and yeah that was the funniest (and embarassing) moment ...
"yes sweetheart, it's Vogue you're working for there ! Not Vogue Italia, not iD, not a YSL campain ... lift it up !" ....

like Edward was just a little kid in fashion industry .......


i now do understand why some fashion editors/photog' you like for their work are mostly unrecognizable in Vogue US !

 

[iluvjeisa]

From what it sounds like...she just has negative opinions - like "that's too blah", "that's not right" - she never seems to have positive opinions.....like "I want orange here" or whatever. It sounds like harsh opinions, but always focused on prestige rather than an aesthetic sense or art...

 

[ThiagoMello]

You're wrong, yet again....

He's not wrong, you can see that one image at A+C as a part of the Paris Je T'aime editorial. You can see it Here.

 

[XavierRaphael]

Thanks Thiago, I meant A+C.
I believe 2 images were scrapped, Sasha in Rodarte, and the group shot.
