THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE
2//11/10
OVERVIEW: A riveting
behind-the-scenes look into the world of fashion, The September
Issue debuts on DVD and digital download from Lionsgate. An
intimate, funny and surprising look at Vogue's legendary
editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and her team of larger-than-life
editors, this is the captivating story of how they create the
must-have Bible of fashion: The September Issue. Director RJ
Cutler explores the untouchable glamour of Wintour’s Vogue to
reveal the extraordinarily passionate people at its heart.
Hailed as “highly entertaining” (Time Out New York), “completely
addictive” (Salon.com), “a hurricane of fabulousness” (New York
Magazine) and “dishy, glitzy, vibrant and sensationally fun”
(Entertainment Weekly), The September Issue stars a who’s who of
fashion, featuring unprecedented access into the hallways of
Vogue magazine, along with fashion royalty like Oscar De La
Renta, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Vera Wang, Thakoon, Karl Lagerfeld
and more. Available as a two-disc “Double Issue” DVD containing
extensive bonus materials, including over 90 minutes of
never-before-seen deleted scenes, audio commentary with the
director and a photo gallery, The September Issue will be
hitting stands on February 23, 2010
SYNOPSIS: At the eye of
this annual fashion hurricane is the two-decade relationship
between Anna and Grace Coddington, incomparable Creative
Director and fashion genius. Through them, we see close-up the
delicate creative chemistry it takes to remain at the top of the
fashion field. Now, with the biggest issue ever hanging in the
balance, Anna and Grace confront the runways of Fashion Week,
the backrooms of the world's biggest designers, the high-stakes
photo shoots – and each other – as the Vogue team scrambles to
find the perfect look for each page of The September Issue.
Cutler delivers a riveting look into the world of fashion that
is as fun, fabulous and fast-paced as the world it captures.
