Plot

The film revolves around the making of the Vogue September Issue '07. The audience sees the trouble that goes into making the magazine, and the true passion that Grace Coddington, a former model turned creative director and the only person who dares to stand up to Anna Wintour, has for the highly regarded fashion magazine. In the film, Grace is often portrayed as the leading victim to Anna's aggressive personality. However, her expertise and keen eye for fashion is proven when most of her ideas are printed in the final copy of the September Issue. Nevertheless, the team at Vogue truly is a team and is not run solely by Anna Wintour. As the film progresses, you see into the lives of the Vogue Elite, and the making of one of the greatest fashion magazines.
