In Other News: The September Issue / Gilt Groupe / W Hotel Party and Preview

DC's luckiest stylistas (yours truly included) had the chance for a sneak peek at "The September Issue," the documentary about Anna Wintour and the making of Vogue's September 2007 issue, on Wednesday evening, sponsored by Gilt Groupe with an after party at the chic W hotel.

There's not much to report other than GO.SEE.THIS.MOVIE. Immediately. Well, on September 11th, when it hits theaters nationally. It's a truly interesting and well-edited take on both the inner workings of Vogue and the world of fashion in general. Anna Wintour (what a contrast to her Devil Wears Prada character!) displays humor, impeccable fashion sense, and a business savvy unseen in nearly any other magazine editor. Additionally, she commands a respect in the industry that will likely never be seen again. The interplay between Wintour and her Creative Director, Grace Coddington, is especially interesting.

Afterwards, we headed over to the W's POV for a chic after party complete with cocktails, make-your-own Vogue cover shoots apps and tons of gawking at the beautiful people in the room. What a fun night!
