Response: The September Issue

Like many other people in class, I'm choosing to write a response on The September Issue. I had never seen it before but had heard lots about it so I was excited to see it. I, of course, (like every other girl) have seen The Devil Wears Prada and it amazed me how great of a job Hollywood did mimicking Anna Wintour's style as an editor. It's so fascinating how she sets the trend for the entire fashion world. People look to her for what's going to be in. Advertising plays such a big role in magazines, especially the September issue of Vogue, because it reaches the hands of so many people.

What I loved watching in The September Issue was the interaction/relationship between Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief, and Grace Coddington, the creative director. Anna doesn't have a warm and friendly personality. Her main focus is clearly to get business done, and Grace is more of a people person and works well with not only her coworkers but also the models. I think it is important to be business minded, but also be able to build relationships with the people around you.
