After my day of experimentation and week of working from my home studio, I decided last night that it was time I get out and go see the premiere of The September Issue at the Sydney Film Festival. I looked online for tickets, sold out, I rang the box office to see what was happening and they just told me to try my luck, come early and keep my fingers crossed. I knew that the stylist extraordinaire Lenya Jones from The Fashion Loving Stylist would be one to join in for the ride, so I made sure to drag her along. We got the last two tickets for the film. Yay! The movie was absolutely amazing to watch. I have a new found fear of Anna Wintour and a new found admiration for Grace Coddington. I knew that this woman was a wonderful stylist. One of, if not, the best living stylist, but her passion for what she does is unmistakable. The way that she puts things together is just remarkable. I think that she makes 90% of her photo shoots and I'd venture a guess and say that no photographer that has worked with her has done a bad shoot.
It's really amazing the amount of power that Anna Wintour wields within the fashion industry. She can launch a designer, a style, a movement in an instant and cause designers to totally rethink their collections with one comment.
After the film, IMG held a cocktail party to which sadly Lenya and I didn't have tickets. We were leaving via the back, creepy alley exit when a lady stopped us, told us that we had killer outfits and gave us to free passes for the party. The party was rather beige, but I think that has more to do with the fact that the movie started almost an hour late, and most people probably had early starts. However, it was still an awesome night and an incredible movie.
