The actual story on which The Devil Wears Prada is based. In documentary form, we follow Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine (along with her team of editors) as they develop the September 2007 issue. As stated in the film, "September is the January of fashion". So this is THE issue of the year... big, glamorous, new. While Wintour is the final word on everything and the owner of the creative vision, the supporting cast provides the personality. We see artists in the never ending struggle to be creative and find a way to express what needs to be expressed in a particular section. And while the film does not dwell, we at least see hints of the "dark cave" part of the creative process. Regardless of what you think about fashion, this is an interesting look into artistry, relationship, salesmanship, and power.
