Anna and Grace

After the fire of "The Queen Wearing Parda", this "September" documentary was launched, telling the story of the female editor Miranda's prototype Anna Wintour (Anna Wintour) and her creative director Grace Coddington (who has worked with her for 20 years). Grace Coddington) to co-create the story of the September issue of US Vogue. September is the season of fashion week and the month with the most advertisements in fashion magazines, so the September issue is also of great significance.

Fading the halo of the fashion industry in the movie, the documentary describes the more real state of the fashion industry workers. Grace and her colleagues select the topic, screen the clothing for the presentation, prepare the styling and shoot, travel with the photographer to Paris and Rome to shoot, and then Anna is the last one who decides what clothes to use and which photos to use as the cover , which content can enter the display page of the magazine. If she is not satisfied with the filmed feature, she has to reshoot it, even if the cost of the last filming was as high as 50,000 US dollars.

Anna is cold, restrained and forward-looking, and was the first to realize that the celebrity effect would have a huge impact on fashion magazines. She was also impressed with her thorough analytical skills and her genius for capturing the essence of things in an instant. She's not that interesting, but she's really fit to be a leader and to be looked up to and feared. She is also lonely, her daughter does not understand the fashion industry, and her relatives who are engaged in serious work in politics do not like the fashion industry she is involved in.

Grace is the driving force behind Vogue, the "fashion bible", and she is the dream maker behind countless women. She worked as a stylist and assistant photographer to finally present a fashion blockbuster, and Anna was very positive about her ability at the end of the documentary, she said, "Grace is genius." Although they often disagreed, they finally learned how to deal with differences. Grace is infinitely creative. In addition to the romantic feelings in her character, her inspiration comes from her meticulous observation of any beautiful things. “You have to keep watching, because whatever you see out of the window, wherever it is, has the potential to inspire you,” she says. That’s how photographers she’s worked with taught her.

Grace is also very strong. She said twice, "You have to keep moving forward, and you can't be left behind", and also emphasized, "Don't be so friendly, or you are doomed to fail." Perhaps, everything she has endured has taught her to be strong, She used to be a model. After a car accident and disfigurement, she was turned behind the scenes. What other documentaries did not show were the failure of marriage, miscarriage, and the death of a loved one. None of them defeated her. She loves her job, just like Anna, that's what they have in common. It is also a little bit that the family cannot give them happiness, and they all use work to make up for it.

In the end, after a busy few months, the September issue was launched smoothly, albeit a complicated, stressful and tortuous process. Anna concluded the work, "Fashion is never looking back at the past, but looking forward to the future." The September issue ended neatly and began to prepare the content of the next issue.
