'The September Issue' - A Sneak Peek at the Vogue Movie

Filed under: Style in the News

Finally! A taste of "The September Issue" has hit the Internet.

The premise: A film crew follows Anna Wintour and her Vogue staff around while they create the highly anticipated September issue -- the thickest of the year.

Cameras trail the editrix who has been notoriously private in her more than 20 years as editor of the fashion tome. But, now the sunglasses come off!

While "The Devil Wears Prada" offered an icy take on Wintour, the upcoming documentary should reveal the warmer, slightly more empathetic, and even humorous side to the woman who dictates fashion.

New York fashion tribes have been hosting screening parties of the film with bootleg copies. Guess they can't wait for the September 11 release date. And neither can we.

Filed under: Style in the News

We'd heard rumors that there was a new Vogue model ... but this isn't quite what we imagined.

Meet Rachel Alexandra. No, she's not the hot new "It" girl; she's the hot new "It" horse. The AP reports that the Preakness-winning filly will be featured in the August issue of the fashion tome.

Apparently, Vogue editor Anna Wintour attended the equine event May 16th in Baltimore, Maryland -- and thought the female horse was stylish enough to grace the pages of her magazine. Wintour then sent photographer Steven Klein to shoot Rachel Alexandra on Friday, May 29th. (Relax, not shoot shoot, just photograph!)

Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfeld, Battle of the Vogues

Filed under: Style in the News



It's the clash of the fashion titans. Rumors have been swirling for months that American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, infamous for her hostility towards press and television interviews, will be doing a 60 Minutes special with Morley Safar which will air by May 2009. The gossip mill also claims that Anna and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld, for lack of better words, hate each other. So in true fashion diva style, Carine couldn't let Anna be the only Vogue editor with a special this season, now could she?

Tatjana Patitz PSA for Orangutan Outreach

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style, Style for a Cause



Just a couple of weeks ago we read a Jezebel post wondering what ever happened to Tatjana Patitz, one of only five models -- the others were household names Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford -- to appear on the cover of Vogue in 1990. So her name was on the tip of our tongue when we saw this (heartbreaking) PSA for Orangutan Outreach, a non-profit that works to save the critically endangered "red ape".

Jumpsuits - Vogue's On Board, but Are You?

Trend: Jumpsuits

    Dark and elegant or fun and flirty -- the jumpsuit is back! Celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Longoria and Alicia Keys are putting their own modern spin on this 70s look.

We've been seeing jumpsuits all over the place lately, and while we're still a little nervous about incorporating them into real-life wardrobes, we have to admit that we're digging some of the hot new styles. Vogue obviously is, too, since they're calling for the Return of the Jumpsuit in 2009. They write in this month's issue: "Versatile enough to be worn by a skydiver, Studio 54 habitue and spaceman alike, the jumpsuit stages a comeback in all its chameleon-like glory." Now that's an endorsement!

But still, if even top Hollywood starlets and stylists are able to manage this trend (sort of), how feasible is it to expect regular folks to sport the look? There are so many ways to go wrong with it -- too tight in the body, or too short-waisted, and you're looking at a serious fashion faux pas. However, when it's right, it can look so cool.

Bottom line is this -- we're going to support this trend, but with major reservations. If you're going shopping for one of your own, don't go without a very honest friend. And maybe a camera. What do you think?

Will you jump on board the jumpsuit trend?
