The September Issue, R.J. Cutler’s documentary film about Anna Wintour, Vogue, and the September 2007 “biggest issue ever”, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival today, with Wintour herself in attendance. While I am quite jealous of those who got to see the entire film today, there is a “Meet the Filmmaker” clip which is a great sneak peek, with a very Devil Wears Prada-ish scene between Wintour and two frightened looking editors. You can watch the video by clicking here:

The film promises to take us behind the scenes at fashion week, on shoots, into closed-door staff meetings and explores Wintour’s relationships with her father and daughter. At the center of the film is an examination of the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, the incomparable creative director, and deconstructs the creative process and chemistry between the two. As for the designers? Thakoon Panichgul, Oscar de la Renta, Karl Lagerfeld, Nicolas Ghesquier, Jean Paul Gaultier, Stefano Pilati, Phillip Lim and Isabel Toledo all make appearances. Having no real knowledge of the fashion industry before making this film, Cutler approached his subjects without pre-conceived notions or an agenda and also had final cut over the footage. I can’t wait to see this objective behind-the-scenes look into the world of Vogue.
