Not Quite Devil-ish

For someone who denies the Devil Wears Prada is based on her... Anna Wintour doesn't make it easy to believe her. The Vogue editirix arrived to the premiere of "The September Issue" wearing what else; Prada! Maybe she's just proving she's in on the joke? The movie documents the making of the September issue of Vogue hence, the title. This particular issue of the magazine serves as an ushering in of Fall fashion. It's also as thick as a Bible and maybe that's the point. I mean, Vogue is nothing if not the fashion bible! The film premiered at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the stars came out! Fashion and film elite turned out for the event including Renee Zellweger, former Vogue cover girl Sienna Miller, Carolina Hererra, Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan and the list goes on! If left up to the fashion glitterati, Wintour is as far from a "Devil" as one could imagine. Designers like Zac Posen and Marc Jacobs speak of nothing but respect for the fashionable one. I guess this movie will allow us to make our own judgements of Ms. Wintour and maybe, that was indeed the point. The September Issue opens August 28th in NYC and September 11th everywhere else.

YSL Remembered

While I was out on vacay the legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent lost his yearlong battle with brain cancer. The fashion icon was credited with empowering women by recreating the pant. His take on the pant made it a more elegant piece of a woman's wardrobe. The designer was quoted as saying "fashion was not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves." It's this attitude that kept him highly regarding in fashion circles everywhere. When he retired from runway in 2002 the fashion world mourned the end of an era. Yves Saint Laurent, designer and icon, dead at 71.
