Film Summary
Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for twenty years, is one of the most powerful and polarizing figures in fashion (Meryl Streep’s character in The Devil Wears Prada was allegedly based on Wintour). With unprecedented access, filmmaker R.J. Cutler’s new film THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE does for fashion what he did for politics in THE WAR ROOM, taking the viewer inside a world they only think they know.

Every August a record-breaking number of people can’t wait to get their hands on the September issue of Vogue. The 2007 issue was and remains the biggest ever, weighing over four pounds, reaching an audience of thirteen million people, and impacting the $300-billion global fashion industry more than any other single publication. An intimate, funny and surprising look at Anna Wintour and her team of larger-than-life editors as they create this must-have Bible of fashion, Cutler’s film explores the untouchable glamour of Vogue and reveals the extraordinarily passionate people at the magazine’s heart. Cutler takes us behind the scenes at Fashion Week, to Europe, on shoots and reshoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous, entertaining, and sometimes emotionally demanding process.

At the eye of this annual fashion hurricane is the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, incomparable Creative Director and fashion genius. They are perfectly matched for the age-old conflict between creator and curator. Through them, we see close up the delicate creative chemistry it takes to remain at the top of the ever-changing fashion field.
