Photo-Illustration: by Stevie Remsberg; Photo: Shutterstock The fashion documentary The September Issue, which went behind the scenes at Anna Wintour’s Vogue, premiered ten years ago, on September 11, 2009. At the time, it was a rare treat, offering an intimate, humanizing portrait of the “ice queen” at the magazine’s helm , plus a glimpse at how some of the world’s most glamorous sausage gets made.
1. Anna Wintour Double-Fisting Cell Phones Photo: Lionsgate In the film’s opening scene, we see Anna Wintour heading to the office in a Town Car. In her left hand, she holds her BlackBerry, and in her right, she’s got a Motorola flip phone. While reading an email from Tom Ford on the BlackBerry, she speaks into the phone to someone named Sophie — presumably an assistant — asking her to “send the email on” to someone named Jay.
4. Sally Singer Thinking Really Hard About Jackets Photo: Lionsgate Photo: Lionsgate In a breakfast meeting, Anna Wintour and the Vogue team share a list of upcoming trends with retail CEOs and buyers. Wintour calls upon features director Sally Singer, who declares with great confidence that the “key item” for fall is going to be … the jacket.
7. Bee Shaffer Dragging Her Mom’s Life Work Photo: Lionsgate “I really don’t want to work in fashion,” declares Anna Wintour’s daughter, Bee Shaffer, who was around 22 at the time. “It’s a really weird industry to me. I don’t want to put it down, but I would never wanna take it too seriously. Some of the people in there act like fashion is life. It’s really amusing, and you can make fun of them, but for that to be your career … It’s just … There are other things out there, I think.” Ouch.
