I also really admire Anna Wintour's style. I saw it last winter and I didn't think too much about the relevance of the style to what is available now. Interesting point. I certainly do have the feeling that when I buy a designer (small time) dress in season in a novel style, I don't see the copies of it cropping up in cheaper versions for at least a year or more. For example I have this navy blue dress in a slightly utilitarian, let's say old-school stewardess style that I have posted a couple of times. It was DVF from about 5 years ago, but now you could buy a copy anywhere. At the time that I bought it, it was really something different. I still love it because it is also somehow a classic and beautifully cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382500 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:07:27 +0000 mrseccentric 382500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saw it in teh theatre, loved it! like Marley, i came out loving Grace Coddington. i've admired her styling for decades, and appreciate it even more seeing how much wheer WORK she has to do and how she fights for her aesthetic decisions. i squealed with delight when she vetoed Anna Wintour's order to 'slim down' the cameraman's gut in the spread - a true artist!</p> <p>i really appreciated Grace Coddington's story, as well. i got in a bad car accident when i was 20, and spent most of a year with a very beat-up face and/or a very obvious 5 1/2" long scar on my forehead. people don't react well, and it's a shock if you used to be considered 'good-looking'. at the same time, it's an opportunity to focus on more interesting, long-lasting parts of life, which Ms. Coddington has done so well. steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382492 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:04:10 +0000 Mellllls 382492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i've wanted to see it but haven't gotten around to it! thanks for the reminder!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382487 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:01:09 +0000 Anonymous 382487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the reminder of this movie. Anna W. is my fashion inspiration and I haven't seen the movie yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382478 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:48:38 +0000 nancylee 382478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rented that one a couple of years ago....fascinating look at the inside workings of Vogue! I know Anna Wintour has a snarly reputation, but I thought she came off as a rather sympathetic (though tough) character in the movie. It was so interesting to learn that her father basically "chose" her career for her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382473 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:35:37 +0000 Marley 382473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw it when it was in the movie theaters and then bought the DVD when it came out. I (obviously) LOVED it - I could watch it over and over again. My hero is Grace Coddington - love her - what a genius! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382471 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:30:53 +0000 lynne 382471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw it about 6 months ago after a friend recommended it. I loved it! I'd given up my Vogue subscription, but might have to reinstate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382468 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:27:14 +0000 MNsara 382468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have not seen it, but it sounds exactly like something I'd love (and my husband would sit with his laptop while watching with me ;-)</p> <p>I just requested it from our library -- thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-september-issue#post-382461 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:07:57 +0000 MsMary 382461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anybody seen this documentary about Anna Wintour and the gang at "Vogue?" I watched it over the weekend and loved it! So interesting, so fun, the clothes were so fab!</p> <p>One thing that really struck me was that the movie was made in the summer and fall of 2007, but all the clothes were the ones we are all wearing right now -- there was a big colorblocking spread in the issue (September 2007),. there's a scene in which Anna wears a beautiful cream-and-navy Breton striped sweater, and the dresses and skirts and amazing little jackets she wore looked utterly current. I guess it really does take 3-4 years for fashion to get from the pages of "Vogue" to the stores and the streets.</p> <p>And remember the thread about "do you have a celebrity style doppleganger?" Well, I don't, but I am totally an Anna Wintour wannabe! I would wear every. single. thing. she wears in that movie!!</p> <p>Did you see it? Your thoughts? </p>
