It looks fake.

I think you have

more personality out of these...

...than you do on that also.

And there's plenty

of Galliano, so...

Yes.

No, they're fun.

Anna, this one's again,

the group.

But maybe if it's more in the middle,

it might work.

We'll see.

- All right.

How many are there?

Twenty-two.

Let me give you

the right number.

They have a sort of haze

over them, too.

I have to find out how much--

I'm gonna go check and see

how much of that is the Xerox.

I need to print out the beauty

better for sure.

And then try to print this out

better too if you can.

Let's see if that helps it.

Well, look.

I think it's 'cause on the screen,

there's a little bit more color.

'Cause even in the beauty,

that Meisel did, it's everything.

I think

it's just the printer right now.

It's the printer right now.

They're meant to be soft.

They're meant to be.

That's the point.

But the colors

are not like this, though.

Like this. No, they are.

They're too flat to be like that.

I mean, they're meant to be.

They're not supposed

to be bright, you know, like this.

They're not all like that.

- No, I know that.

So don't try

because you won't get anywhere.

I mean, you probably will,

'cause you can

probably pump them up,

but it's really a shame.

Is this out?

Maybe.

- Are you kidding?

No.

- Why?

Because she doesn't feel it goes

with the rest of the story so much.

Wait and see.

This is early yet.

We have the whole issue

to put together.

I don't get why it wouldn't go in.

That's all Galliano,

which is the point of the thing.

You've got a few more.

You've got a few more in there.

Yeah.

I love this.

It's wonderful, this.

It's astounding.

No, they're supposed

to be soft like that.

They're supposed to be backlit.

It's maybe all the things

she doesn't like,

but that's

what they're supposed to be.

No, it's great.

It's really nice.

Thanks. I'll talk to her.

Is this the run-through for Sienna?

This is Sienna coming up.

So I don't have to be there

for that one.

Well, it's a cover.

I'll go to it, sure.

Just call me when.

Sorry about this.

This is like a girly heaven.

Holy crap.

- Oh, my God.

Is that the Marchesa line?

Oh, my God.

- It's amazing.

That's amazing.

Oh, my God.

- Is that wings? No.

It's Nina Ricci.

I don't understand how everyone

sort of collectively does--

Yeah. I mean,

it's the September issue of Vogue.

Hi, guys.

- Hi. How are you?

I'm good.

Hello. Hi.

This is Savannah, my sis.

Hi, I'm Anna. How are you?

Thank you for coming.

Do you wanna try that?

It looks cheap to me.

Okay, put it back.

That's quite ridiculous.

The evolution for Vogue

to putting celebrities on its covers...

...has been because of Anna.

She was ahead of the curve...

...to appreciate the fact

that celebrity culture...

...became overwhelming.

Am I supposed to pose

in this bit?

No, darling.

- I don't like it.

What Vogue did

and what the supermodels did...

...in the pages of Vogue

is that they trained...

...a generation of celebrities

to want to be supermodels.

Actresses started believing that fashion

was a seamless part of life...

...and a seamless part of celebrity,

and that was fine.

Oh, my goodness.

It's amazing.

Really no pasta.

I can't bear going to Rome...

...and not being able to have pasta.

That's incredible.

It is. You look amazing in that.

This is amazing.

I thought it was in Paris.

It's amazing.

And the rest of the shoot

is just brilliant, Grace.

Do mention it to Anna

because she's killed half of it.

It's just beautiful.

It is beautiful.

She took out

the two best pictures.

Tonne, do you want

to talk to the hair stuff,

or do you want to do

that another time?

You know what?

I just wanted to show you this.

This was...

...what we looked up,

which I loved.

It's divine, isn't it?

My hair's too thick to do it with.

You're great in short hair.

You think better?

Do you?

I do.

I have a survey

of every hairstyle you've had...

...for my board.

I'm serious.

The shoot is centered

around a weekend in Rome.

She's gonna go around town...

...and I have to storyboard

that, literally.

Because this

is gonna be highly produced.

Otherwise, it's gonna be chaos.

Feathers.

I'm going to Europe today.

Rome, Paris, and London.

What time are we leaving

on Wednesday?

I'm emailing your itinerary.

Just tell me a time.

Have we organized

where they would...

...bring these dresses in Rome?

No.

It's a problem when yours

are the first pictures in.

'Cause people

get bored with them.

So she's gonna love

the Rome pictures,

because they'll come straight in,

and they'll go straight to press.

If Sienna gets sick and

doesn't turn up in Rome maybe,

maybe all the pictures

will come back.

They'll probably find another celebrity

to take her place, I don't know.

So, shall we not talk

about feathers anymore?

The feather discussion is over.

Is there anything

we need to talk about for December,

or does that just wait

till we come back?

I think we're done.

Grace, I'm leaving soon.

Do you need me for anything?

Well, yeah, we have,

you know, like...

The budget is a problem,

because, you know--

It's not fine.

It's not that simple.

Well, you need to talk with her

because she has the figures.

I know, but it's a hell

of a lot of work to put together,

which I don't want to do

if you have a limited budget.

So I can't really find out

what the limit is...

'cause the limit keeps changing.

I'm in a really foul mood,

because they've killed

a lot of the spread...

...of my twenties story.

And they're about to kill

another one.

And they're all lying

to me about it,

including Danko,

who I thought was my friend.

And you just sit here

and everything is killed.

It's, like, incredibly boring.

And I love to talk money

in front of you guys with Anna...

'cause it drives her crazy.

It's a sure way

to get the budget up.

I don't like this.

No. Then I'll rid you

of this, too.

No, it's just that that's

not a good place for that to go.

Oh, okay.

This is too long, Charlie.

- Still.

All right, we'll take it down.

It's easy to take down then,

if that's the case.

Yes, I'll have him do it right away.

Didier?

I'm fine. How are you?

I think that it's

actually going to be a wig, Didier,

so you're gonna

need time to, yeah.

Her hair is just completely lackluster,

and she's growing it out.

She won't cut it.

You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It might be just easier to do a wig.

Do you need this?

And your tickets are in the July,

your 'up' envelope.

The money is in the bag.

See you guys in Europe. Bye.

Well, I think we

have to discuss things.

And it's gonna be around

until the next...

Until Tonne's pictures come in.

- She's come back.

That's for next month.

No, Sienna is not next month.

But we're not going to really do

the issue until Anna gets back.

We're just putting

all these things up.

Well, no,

you're taking them all down.
