Customer Ratings & Reviews

This documentary is an absolute must for fashion junkies. It follows the September Issue of Vogue from runway to publication, from the tents at Bryant Park to glamourous shoots at Versailles in France to the choices for the final layouts. The clothes are fantastic, and of course, Anna Wintour proves herself worthy of being an internationally recognized style icon and is endlessly quotable. Fans of "The Devil Wears Prada" and it's thinly veiled references to Wintour won't be disappointed in the way she comes across here, but there are several moments when we get to see the very real human being behind "Nuclear Wintour". But the real standouts here are Fashion Director Grace Coddington and Editor-at-Large Andre Leon Talley. Their love of fashion and larger-than-life personalities give the film its heart and draw the viewer in. I have been a devoted Vogue reader and follower of fashion for many years, and I found this very realistic and revealing documentary a fascinating look into the enormous effort it takes to produce the work of art known as the September Issue

This documentary film is all about how a fashion magazine is put together. From visiting designers, to laying out the spread, to photo shoots and creating the final copy. Anna Wintour comes off bossy, but she really is just only doing her job. She is very decisive and direct and you need to be when you are part of such a major global industry. Grace Coddington is pure genious when it comes to directing photo shoots! She has such a creative eye for it! I would highly recommend this DVD to become a part of your collection if you follow fashion as much as I do. You will leave with so much insight.

It was GREAT learning the story behing the story. I highly recommend this for any fan of fashion. I believe its not the name, but how you wear it.
