The fashionistas at The Cut got their hands on one of the deleted scenes from the upcoming The September Issue DVD. Watch Anna and couture bodyguard André Leon Talley intimidate a petrified designer, suggest he have a drink.
André Leon Talley, Vogue's editor-at-large-and-in-charge, has signed on to judge three "cycles" of Tyra Banks' glam reality schlockfest. He says Anna Wintour was OK with the idea and he had couture gowns made for the show. This is gonna rule!
In a piece on The Daily Beast today, Tina Brown finally gets hip to Anna Wintour's Make-People-Like-Me Tour 2009, but she does it all wrong. Her Anna has mastered the time-space continuum.
The September Issue debuted in New York over the weekend. So how did it do? Very well, actually: The film grossed a total of $240,078 on six screens, making it the fifth-best documentary debut ever. And you can't say Anna Wintour didn't do her part to support the film: At least ten of those dollars came out of her own…
Anna Wintour apparently couldn't get enough of The September Issue, for she was snapped waiting in line to see the fashionable documentary this weekend. How pedestrian! The girl behind Wintour obviously recognizes the Vogue editrix and looks appropriately fearful.
We already told you how the Vogue creative director stole the movie from Anna, but now it appears the editor-in-chief is not only letting her have the win, but promoting her as well...with Vogue!...on the internet!

We thought the Late Show portion of Anna Wintour's Make-People-Like-Me-Before-My-Contract-Is-Up Tour 2009 would be a disaster. Until Letterman asked about The Devil Wears Prada. Then we knew she was safe, because she could never come off worse than Miranda Priestly.
We got what we expected from alleged Hannibal Lecter stand-in and Vogue editor Anna Wintour appearance on The Late Show: a staid, polite exchange. Regardless, it only made us love Wintour more — and she actually came off looking good.
When Anna Wintour agreed to the Vogue documentary The September Issue, she probably thought it would be the greatest stop on the Make-People-Like-Me-Before-My-Contract-Is-Up Tour 2009. Too bad she is cast as the villain to Grace Coddington's triumphant hero.

So everyone in fashion is eagerly awaiting the release of the Anna Wintour/Vogue documentary, The September Issue, one of the most important pieces of cinema ever made, and naturally, the film's premiere will be a high-profile event. But who's invited?
• Cintra Wilson is not impressed with the NYC's very first JCPenney: "Why would this perennially square department store bother to reanimate itself in Manhattan—in the sleekest, scariest fashion city in America—during a hair-raising economic downturn, without taking the opportunity to vigorously rebrand itself?"…
• The September 2009 issue of Vogue looks nothing like the issue from 2007, the making of which is detailed in R.J. Cutler's new period picture, The September Issue. Take a sec to let the image of the 840-page behemoth from two years ago—the largest issue ever—burn itself into your memory. Given the way things are…
The promotional campaign for The September Issue, R.J. Cutler's documentary about Vogue, includes downloadable ringtones of Anna Wintour's terrified assistant answering her boss' phone: "Anna Wintour's office?" Be the first on your block!
Remember back in January when we posted amusing little ringtones of Vogue's Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley? It was a resounding success, we must admit: something like 30,000 people downloaded the clips thanks to the flurry of press that followed, including a shout-out in French Vogue. Well, one of those people…
• A new survey finds that New York City is no longer the fashion capital of the universe. For the first time in five years, NYC came in second place and Milan snagged the top slot. Or at least this is what a research firm based in Austin, Texas is now claiming. [NYDN]
• The best and worst in July fashion mags. [Cut]
…
Ah, the September Issues—when fashion magazines sell more ads than any other month, and staffers gorge themselves on parsley, in celebration. How are the September ad sales looking this year? Not too fab. Especially for Vogue.

Anna Wintour said she wishes the new documentary about her had ventured beyond the offices of Vogue. And no wonder, because it is there that the editor made her ruthless reputation.
