Vogue: Genius Anna Wintour's Kingdom

What and incredible movie. I was riveted to the screen. I didn't even make my usual trip to the restroom half way through, even though I was enjoying a Starbucks decaf coffee. Anna Wintour had Starbucks throughout the movie **sigh** (that's one thing we have in common haha). Even Edgar enjoyed it, being a fan of documentaries in general, and we had a good discussion afterwards (I mention that because that showed me that he was paying attention, not napping!)

I think this was perfect timing for this movie, with the beginning of fashion week. I was impressed with the relationship between Anna Wintour and Creative Director, Grace Coddington. As well as her relationship with her daughter, offering support for her daughter's career choice of Law even though you could see her desire for her daughter to go into fashion. Grace, as stated by Anna herself, is an integral part of the magazine's success.

Oh how I wish I would have saved my September issues thru the years! Have you saved your issues?

If you love fashion, this movie is a must. I look forward to delving further into the creative genius process for papers for my masters. Have you seen the movie? What do you think?!

Vogue is Fall

Today, first and foremost, I want to remember and pay tribute to all those lost in the 9/11 attacks, and the survivors. On this day {and everyday} we should be thankful for our numerous blessings and not take {anything} for granted. And lastly, a huge 'THANK YOU' to those who keep us safe...

I'm excited about the movie 'The September Issue' which features the designers and editors of Vogue. The fall issue is anticipated by millions of people of all walks of life around the world. "The September Issue is a documentary which focuses on Vogue editor Anna Wintour as she visits the annual Fashion Week shows, accepts or dismisses the latest creations of the biggest names in fashion, works with the models, photographers, and writers who help bring her vision to the page, and labors with her staff to determine what the world's fashionistas will be wearing for the next 12 months.

The September Issue received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where it received an award for excellence in documentary cinematography." ~ credit to Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.

I plan to see it tomorrow in La Jolla ;-)

Fashion Valley in San Diego is having a Fall Fashion event tonight (which I will miss because I'm working late and could never make it there with Friday traffic - {why oh why didn't I take a flex day today?? sigh...poor planning}. There are Saturday events as well, which I plan to attend!

{so much for my day of working on the Master Bath project!}
