The September Issue
Last night, I watched an entertaining and interesting documentary on Vogue's Editor in Chief, Anna Wintour. This documentary explored the interworkings of Vogue and showed just a glimpse of the fashion world. From the runways of Paris to photo shoots in Rome, this film was both exciting and fascinating. It was interesting to see the fashion world through the eyes of Anna Wintour and another editor, Grace Coddington. If you are in to high fashion, models and magazines, check it out! I will tell you one thing, I would not want to get on Anna Wintour's bad side!
