Documentary chronicling Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's preparations for the 2007 fall-fashion issue.
No matter how often they proclaim that they understand each other without saying much, this doesn't look like a very communicative workplace. Not collaborative at all. Sure, at the end someone has to make the decisions, especially when you have hard deadlines. But it seems unlikely that you get the best result when everyone is scared of you and afraid to speak up.
The only one who comes across as being interesting to work with is Grace Coddington. The others are rather joyless bunch.
“The September Issue,” the real world of high fashion.
Ever wonder what the world Gabriel Agreste works in is really like? VOGUE'S legendary editor-in-chief Anna Wintour might intimidate Gabriel himself.
Full of larger-than-life, often over-the-top real people, “the 2009 Sundance Film Festival Winner tells the captivating story of how they create the must-have bible of fashion: THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE. Director R.J. Cutler delivers this riveting look into the world of fashion that is as fun, fabulous and fast-paced as the world it captures.”
This documentary inspired the movie The Devil Wears Prada, with Merle Streep fashioning her character after Wintour.

You keep using the word "anything" anything and I feel like we have to be clear: "anything" is very uh, very broad–
Bad: Listen–
Foolish: So like, for example, what if all of a sudden you were like "We can only save one Egg, and to save it, you have to kill the others, and the last Egg standing–" like that seems like an extreme, like–
Bad: Whoa, whoa, no no no, anything except hurt the Eggs
