I think they enjoyed the process as well: the idea that there are real people behind the scenes, deciding "This, not that." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue/page/2#post-396797 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 03:31:09 +0000 Kari 396797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found the whole concept/process much more interesting than I thought I would. I'm hoping to watch it with my mom and sister soon - I think they'd enjoy it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue/page/2#post-396683 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:31:39 +0000 April 396683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Kari -- I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie too! I watched it again while my sister was visiting last week, and liked it even more the second time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue/page/2#post-396664 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:08:58 +0000 Kari 396664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Auburn, lucky you! I just watched The September Issue on Netflix a few weeks ago but had missed this thread. I found Grace Coddington utterly fascinating to watch, both due to her firey personality, her process of thinking out the editorial shoots, and her personal backstory. Thakoon Panichgul was adorable, too - I liked the outtake at the end where he was just completely bowled over when learning that he was featured in the documentary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-384245 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 15:12:28 +0000 MsMary 384245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I watched this one, too! Really liked it! It's Fashion Film Festival week at Casa K! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-384130 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:41:17 +0000 April 384130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anyone hasn't had enough of fashion films, I also saw most of one called Picture Me, which is a homemade documentary (literally, boyfriend with a videocamera) about a young model who becomes quite successful and does the big London/Paris/Milan runway shows. You'll see some of the usual fashion suspects, including Karl L. </p> <p>I didn't love it because I'm not fascinated by models, but if you're fascinated by models, this would be a good choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-384070 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 04:25:57 +0000 MsMary 384070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea, Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-384037 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 02:54:30 +0000 Deborah 384037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I make a confession here? I have been known to google Anna Wintour in order to peruse photos of her at various events and checkout her outfits:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383919 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:09:16 +0000 chewyspaghetti 383919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just watched it- I am totally with you Auburn. LOVE Grace!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383882 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:56:11 +0000 Auburn 383882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with greenglove and a few others: to me the absolute gem of The September Issue, which I could not have loved more, was Grace Coddington. My BF and I became rather obsessed with her after seeing this movie--I love her demeanor, her way of dealing with Anna but, mainly, her artistic vision. What a true genius! And her personal story is fascinating: she herself was a promising model until a crippling car accident left her disfigured.<br /> I also had the enormous privilege to meet Grace last year and she could not have been more humble, lovely and radiant in person. I was absolutely starstruck and could barely form a few sentences. I'll see if I can dig up and scan the picture of us that we had taken together... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383811 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 21:35:17 +0000 MsMary 383811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh... me, too, April! (Although "understand" is maybe too big a word -- more like "make out a bit of.") Too funny! </p> <p>Barbara (NC), you'd think I was a hoot if you could see me right now. Kind of like the guy in this photo -- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383790 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:35:43 +0000 April 383790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watched it too -- excellent. </p> <p>I was trying to sew on some buttons while it was on and that didn't work so well when Italian was being spoken since I couldn't sew and read the titles. At one point I realized I could understand what they were saying and thought for a second that I had miraculously developed the ability to speak Italian, but quickly realized they were speaking French. D'oh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383789 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:30:14 +0000 Barbara 383789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, you are a hoot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383787 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:27:43 +0000 MsMary 383787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, just watched "Valentino: The Last Emperor," and it was amazing! ZOMG THE CLOTHES!!! Pure fantasy and just amazing!!</p> <p>I just hope my facelift turns out a little more lifelike than his... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383783 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:23:05 +0000 Barbara 383783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't seen this yet, but I've subscribed to Vogue for 30+ years.<br /> It's the best of the best for the latest fashion fun AND fantasy.</p> <p>Waiting not-so-patiently for the new season of Project Runway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383713 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:03:39 +0000 MsMary 383713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Marley! That was amazing! She's the Pope of the Church of Fashion, and she seems to feel like she's the under-achieving sibling in her family! </p> <p>Families, man. They're crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383708 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 17:52:39 +0000 Marley 383708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like I mentioned in MaryK's post, I LOVED this documentary and bought it as soon as it came out on DVD. Grace Coddington is pure genius - and I loved learning and observing the relationship between her and Anna. Such different women - but you could really feel the connection between the two of them. I also found myself feeling compassion for Anna and the pressure from her family to be "successful." Compared to the rest of her siblings, it appears that she is perceived as the one just didn't quite do as well (in her career) as the others . Astonishing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383700 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 17:25:09 +0000 MsMary 383700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April -- no "Hurt Locker" for me -- my son is in his LAST DAY of USMC boot camp (he should be a Marine by this time tomorrow) and "The Hurt Locker" hits a little too close to home for this mom right now!</p> <p>I'm also watching this interesting documentary called "Seamless," about a competition for young fashion designers sponsored by Vogue. Some of the characters from "The September Issue," including Anna Wintour, appear in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383691 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 17:12:50 +0000 Lori 383691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This movie made me fall in love with Vogue again! I adored the relationship between Anna and Grace. Anna is a fascinating lady and true icon in my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383686 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 16:56:12 +0000 April 383686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny, MaryK -- I put that on my instant queue as well and was debating whether to watch it today. SO is away in London and is encouraging me to put my feet up, order takeout, and watch movies, which sounds like good advice to me. </p> <p>Let's see -- it's either Valentino: The Last Emperor, or The Hurt Locker... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383683 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 16:46:51 +0000 MsMary 383683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was fascinated by how Anna is so perfectly put together while Grace is un-made-up, un-coiffed, and clad in head-to-toe black. That seemed to be a pattern among the women in that world -- a surprising number of them appear to have opted out of actually wearing the clothes they're so involved with every day.</p> <p>BTW, in addition to the colorblocking and Breton striped sweater, add the lovely Ikat print dress of Anna's to her outfits that would look perfectly fresh and chic even four years later! And that AMAZING brown dotted Chanel suit with fur trim. ^swoon^</p> <p>Jonesy, I'm doing okay. I still don't look very human, though -- lots of swelling although the bruising isn't bad at all.</p> <p>Today I'm going to watch "Valentino: The Last Emperor" on tarzy's recommendation! Gotta love the streaming Netflix on the big TV in the Woman Cave! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383674 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 16:24:58 +0000 judy 383674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this makes me want to see it again! I loved watching this which was a surprise. That it was about the relationship between these two women who must collaborate was SO interesting...and the fact that they are not "young" in societies terms was even better. Both wise in different ways. I thought it was such a well done documentary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383588 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 12:24:07 +0000 greenglove 383588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved it and Grace is the most interesting and excellent stylist and creative director I have ever seen. I was blown away by her shoots and<br /> I subscribe to Vogue for that very reason. Anna was sad to me in some ways- but I adored Grace and even loved her casual style,<br /> I have seen it twice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383557 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 09:11:14 +0000 Deborah 383557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the movie and I must confess Anna Wintour is one of my style icons! I found the movie very eye opening and what an amazing relationship Anna and Grace have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383396 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:51:56 +0000 Jonesy 383396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't, but it's on my list of things to see! </p> <p>MaryK, how are you doing? I hope you are faring well and everything is going smoothly :).</p> <p>Oops, sorry to highjack, April!..I was thinking that MaryK had started this thread! That's what happens when I have a glass of wine with dinner...I get all loopy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383340 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:34:28 +0000 Kate 383340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watched it last night after seeing MaryK's thread. I just loved hearing all of their personal stories and watching Grace work. I loved how the film was both fun and thought provoking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383335 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:25:14 +0000 Beth 383335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for Summer Sybarites! I have one more summer eval tomorrow (how DO those things sneak in?) but then I'm back to vacation-land! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383327 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:14:46 +0000 April 383327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five back at you, Beth. I had to travel to DC yesterday to present for a work-related event, so today was purely sybaritic. It may have started with a trip the Rack, and after The September Issue, I may have watched The Devil Wears Prada. :)</p> <p>MaryK -- how did I miss that thread? Was the film one of your recuperation treats? </p> <p>Angie -- I would have guessed that you'd seen this, and that you would adore Anna, though her somewhat forbidding demeanor is so different from your own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383325 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:13:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 383325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have it in my Netflix queue, but I haven't watched it yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-seen-the-september-issue#post-383323 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:11:15 +0000 Lisa 383323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat! </p>
