First, let me get this out of the way... I do not, by any stretch of the imagination, consider myself to be super fashionable and in the know when it comes to anything related to "high fashion." I can't even pronounce the names of the five designers I do know of. Regardless... it's a pretty interesting industry when you get beneath the surface, I guess.
I spent the weekend in Charlotte with my b.f.f. Katie and when she was telling me about "The September Issue" I was pretty excited to see it. Didn't really know much about the movie or about Anna Wintour except that she never has a hair out of place. But I knew it'd be interesting, at least. So here's my quick, dirty and non-comprehensive review...
It was just okay. I would maybe give it one thumbs up but definitely not two. Hate to say it but it was a bit on the boring side and didn't really reveal much about Anna Wintour herself or her process... it felt more like a series of clips they put together after they followed her around for a few days. (Please don't stone me! I have a family!) Yes, it is a documentary but documentaries don't have to be boring, right? I guess I thought it would be more engaging and, in some way, surprising. (I also spent a major portion of the movie gagging at the sight of Grace Coddington's hair.)
Personally, I am a Lucky kind of girl but I bet this would be a great watch if you're Vogue gal.
Was anyone else a little disappointed? If you loved it, I'm interested... do you keep up with high fashion or were you just interested in a behind the scenes look at Anna Wintour?

I haven't seen but I'm still interested in watching it. THanks for your input - I think it's gone down on my Netflix list. :)
I agree. Lucky over Vogue any day. Even Teen vogue I enjoy better then Vogue!
