Movie thoughts but not a review

I just watched The September Issue. What a great documentary! I thought it would be this exposé of Anna Wintour, but it's really about  the wonderful collaboration between her and Creative Director Grace Coddington. It is also about the creative process and finding passion in what you do. The film got me thinking a lot about inspiration and creativity. There is this great scene where Coddinton tells us how a photographer once told her to always keep her eyes open, don't fall asleep in the car or train, because everything we see inspires us. It is also filled with beautiful clothes, beautiful locations and beautiful women, including Wintour and Coddinton, who started out as a Vogue model 40 years ago. Love seeing the origins of successful careers. Watch it!
