Review of The September Issue (2009) by Barnaby G — 22 Feb 2012

While Anna Wintour is an interesting creature to watch in context of the empire she has come to manage called Vogue; however, the crown jewel of this documentary is Grace Coddington. Who is she, you ask? Well, watch the documentary and you will see the heart and soul of Vogue in a bright, imaginative, talented and unassuming editor named Grace Coddington.

While she starts off understated and a kind of underdog in the film, you start to see how much Anna depends upon the creativity and ingenuity of Grace's work and you witness her social prowess in the corporate culture.

She acts as a den mother to the up-and-comers, reveals her amazing history as a fashion model and describes her assent to where she stands now as a senior fashion editor at one of the world's most powerful fashion magazines.

The film has some interesting characters and funny scenes, you get to see the inspiration for Miranda Priestley in "Devil Wears Prada," and you get to see fashion in action as the fall issue of the magazine unfolds.
