An update on The September Issue
FINALLY! A date for the screening of The September Issue has been set for Toronto, as announced by veteran fashion journalist, David Livingstone who had the very fortunate opportunity to preview the movie on Tuesday. See his review of the film in the Toronto Star here.
So ladies and gentlemen mark October 23, 2009, in your fashion calendar and let the count down begin – 77 days to go.
To wet your appetite in the meantime, Anna Wintour is scheduled to appear on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday, August 24, to promote the film. This should be very interesting to watch since she has always been selective about whom she meets with from the media. The interaction between Wintour, Letterman and the studio audience will yield some interesting answers and reactions… from the viewers of course.
Anna Wintour on 60 Minutes: this interview was taped months ago but it compliments the upcoming première of The September Issue in Toronto and this blog post. What is interesting to observe is Morley Safer’s interview of Wintour as he prods at the rumours and gossip surrounding Wintour and the work environment at Vogue, hoping to extract a juicy tidbit or two from her answers. In true Wintour style, she evades and coyly answers Safer’s gossip focused questions responding with calm clarity and truth. It is apparent Safer doesn’t understand the fashion industry and he’s equally lost when he accompanies Wintour to the prêt-a-porter (ready-to-wear) shows looking perplexed as models sashay down the runway, or it could be he’s not accustomed to seeing so much breast and bum on public display.
Anna Wintour clips and outtakes (60 Minutes): I certainly can’t forget to give you a chance to watch the outtakes that didn’t make the final cut of the interview with Safer. Below are a few of my favourite clips. Enjoy!
