Hey Glamazons!
Just in time for Fashion Week, The September Issue, premiered last night at the MOMA museum in NYC. The documentary followed Vogue for nine months as they created the September 2007 issue, which sold 13 million copies and weighed in at 2 kilograms. Whoa. As every magazine junkie knows, the September issue is the single, most important issue of the year for fashion books. And as fashion books go, Vogue is the bible.
I'm always curious to compare the behind-the-scenes chaos at other magazines to ours as the closing of any issue---especially September---finds me sleep-deprived, depressed, hungry, drained and lifeless. I'm sure they'll be plenty of insider magazine moments that relate to my everyday existence from nerve-racking, finger-biting meetings with the editor-in-chief to celebrity tantrums and breakdowns on photo shoots. Rumor has it there's a lot of tension between Anna Wintour and Vogue stylist and former model, Grace Coddington (who reportedly argue about whether the photographer's stomach (below) needs retouching; aren't the sickly thin models enough?!).
Critics promise that's it's filled with more drama and controversy than "The Devil Wears Prada." Can't wait to see it! A who's who of the fashion industry saw the film yesterday at the star-studded premiere and naturally, they were dressed to the nines. On the guestlist? Fashion royalty Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Phillip Lim, Rachel Roy, Tory Burch, Zac Posen, Jason Wu and Vera Wang. Celebs Chanel Iman (and boo), Renée Zellweger, Sienna Miller, Cassie, Diddy and Diddy's car.
Check out the red carpet pics below and let me know if you're planning to see the film when it opens in NYC on August 28th and everywhere else September 11th.
Renée Zellweger looked sickly in Carolina Herrera.
Rachel Roy always looks so regal and radiant. And love that Michael Kors statement, chain-link necklace.
A newly blond Jessica White. What do you think of the hair color? Not a fan. The bandage
shoes are glam though (Just bought a pair of Manolos like it I can't wait to rock during Fashion Week!!)
Diddy being very divo on his car - he knows how to make an entrance.
Chanel Iman looks every bit fashion goddess in a Versace mini (and loving the neon heel on those sandals). She brought her boyfriend along - so cute!
Yes! Cassie is winning these days! The black jumpsuit with plunging neckline and killer pumps are
so tough-luxe! The neon pink nails add the perfect, feminine touch. Love it!
Kisses,
Coutura
