In Vogue: The Editor's Eye takes a glimpse at Vogue through the ages, in celebration of Vogue's 120th anniversary. Through Vogue's immaculate archives dating back to its launch in 1892, we see some of the most influential fashion images and their cultural impact, as recalled by the iconic women behind them.
With these images, we see some of fashion's most brilliant editors through the ages; Babs Simpson Polly Mellen, Phyllis Posnick, Carlyne Cerf, Grace Coddington, Camilla Nickerson, Jade Hobson, Tonne Goodman, and current editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. We also see celebrities, Nicole Kidman and Sarah Jessica Parker, as well as designers like Nicolas Ghesquiere, Vera Wang (also a former editor) and Marc Jacobs, recalling their memories spent collaborating with the magazine and the brilliant people behind it.
"The people who are responsible for the fashion images are the fashion editors. They have always been our secret weapon, so it seemed to me that we could celebrate Vogue, and also, at the same time, celebrate these great editors." Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, on celebrating not only the magazine, but the super talented editors behind it.
I loved how this film really shined a light towards the editors, and not just the magazine. There are so many brilliant women who Vogue would be nothing without, so it was so nice to see them being appreciated, and recounting their times with Vogue. This film furthermore made me want to work at Vogue (sigh), it's just such a brilliant magazine, and it's cultural impact is one of the things that fascinated me most. I also loved seeing how each editor had their own impact on the magazine, and seeing what different EiC's brought to the magazine.
Wonderful behind the scenes look at an exceptional magazine. A must watch for any fashion lover, or just anyone into the publication business.
Plus, this furthered my love for Grace Coddington since the The September Issue and her memoir. I think I might be obssesssed..
