September is a very special month for a fashion magazine, because it is the turn of the seasons between spring and summer and autumn and winter. How to make a good content in the beginning of the season, all the editors will make great efforts, and the US version of VOGUE has made a September issue with a thickness of more than 700 pages for several consecutive years.
Anna Wintour, a Scorpio born in 1949 (interestingly, Meryl Streep is a Cancer born in 1949), has been the editor-in-chief of American Vogue since 1988 and is the undisputed queen of fashion. (The editor-in-chief of a foreign fashion magazine is very different from that in China, let alone a top magazine like VOGUE, which can be called a "fashion bible". Don't equate it with Qiu Kuang and the like.)
This is a woman full of mystery and leadership. , the perfect fusion of tenderness and strength in her, when "The Devil Wears Prada" was about to be made into a movie, she euphemistically expressed to Meryl Streep: "We are a couple." Then she warned the fashion industry's Celebrities do not work on the film. But at the premiere of the film, when people thought she would be angry and cursed, she walked up in a PRADA, and then held a banquet in the editorial department, announcing that she would start writing an autobiography.
Maybe many people had a preliminary understanding of and yearning for the fashion circle when they watched "The Devil Wears Prada", but it must be said that I didn't feel anything when I watched it for the first time, because there was no sense of reality, like a movie made by a brand The promotional films stacked with the spotlight are full of self-satisfaction and self-righteousness. The pieces of HERMES, Donna Karan, Bill Blass, and of course PRADA that Miranda threw on the table are obviously more watchable than the plot. But it should also be thanks to this film that the name of the fashion queen is finally no longer limited to the top of the pyramid, but spread to the streets and alleys. From this point of view, Anna should not be mean to "The Devil Wears Prada".
Aunt May is a good actress, but her arrogant attitude and exaggerated style in the film are obviously not in line with reality (although I really love her charming and decisive look before putting on sunglasses at the end of the film), which really appeals to the general public It should be "The September Issue" that opened the fashion curtain. After watching this film, I revisited "The Devil Wears Prada" and understood the difference between movies and documentaries more deeply.
This documentary not only did not make Vogue, who is at the core of fashion, step down from the altar, but made me respect the efforts of fashion workers even more. In my eyes, the coated paper vogues are no longer big-name advertising brochures and print media, but also more. A collision of inspiration and aesthetics, a set of extremely rigorous and painstaking work process tempered crystal
film has a clip about Anna's baby daughter Bee Shaffer, Anna looks at her eyes like any ordinary mother, soft and gentle, also have A touch of helplessness. This little girl, like any well-educated and highly educated adolescent girl with strong self-awareness, does not aspire to her mother's work, and confesses that she does not want to inherit Anna's career. She thinks that there are obviously many more meaningful and interesting jobs waiting for her in her life. Of course, such an idea is understandable. Many people have the same attitude when facing fashion and lamenting its complexity and extravagance.
But this little girl may not have carefully observed most women facing a piece of clothing on a Dior hanger, a pair of shoes in the DG window, looking at the autumn water, with a heart-wrenching look, how many people went straight to the counter after working hard for a full month and chose to use a Only LV small pieces to reward yourself, not to mention how many women's ultimate dream is a wera wang wedding dress, a VanCleef&Arpels, a valentino evening dress, a Kelly or a Birkin bag? This is the value of fashion - the value of fashion is that it defines value in a way. And in such a beautiful way.
Anna Wintour's strength and status have attracted many people. Her decent dress, self-contained attitude, and rigorous spirit make her worthy of her position, but at the same time, this film also introduces us to a real VOGUE helmsman--- ---Grace Corddington, her talent and innocence make people yearn, yes, innocence, this once very charming model, after a car accident, has become this tall old woman who is neither young nor beautiful, with explosive long hair, Her skin is loose and wrinkled, but her eyes are like a clear stream, slowly leading to her beloved career, sparking inexhaustible creativity and passion.
A must see for everyone who loves fashion and who doesn't
