The September Issue Page #6

You're taking everything down.

They took two more out,

and there's question marks

on two more.

So it's been whittled down...

...and I'm furious.

They've probably thrown out

$50,000 worth of work.

I care very much about what I do.

I do, or I wouldn't be

still doing it, you know.

But it gets harder and harder

to see it just thrown out.

And it's very hard to go

onto the next thing.

How are you, Grace?

Hi, how are you?

Did they give you the message

about Chanel?

That you're going

this afternoon? Yeah.

Jean Paul.

How are you, Anna?

Nice to see you.

Nice to see you, too.

Pleasure to see you.

Welcome to Paris.

Maybe I want,

the thing is that my clothes--

Nothing's ready.

You're gonna say the usual story.

Bon. But, but, but, but

we are still going to show you.

I show you

the only one you can see. Coco?

Voila.

Wow.

Well, you know,

I'm doing a shoot here in Paris.

I'm looking, 'cause I always

come to the Couture, almost always.

I've been actually for twenty years

at American Vogue...

...and twenty years

before that on British Vogue...

...and a few years before that

when I was modeling.

So I've been coming

for a long time.

Obviously, ostensibly, I'm there

to find something to shoot.

But I always mark

too many things.

Anna says, 'Don't be silly.

We can't do that one.'

Hi, darling.

How are you?

I'm good, and you?

Did you see the match last--

My God, you look amazing

for this room.

Right. I didn't think.

Did you see Roger's match

yesterday?

He won. No, I didn't see it,

but I heard he won.

So, we go to Sienna.

So a schedule, a rough schedule

I've done with Tonne.

Basically, I want to create a film,

you know.

A mixture of Fellini

meets Visconti meets...

Oh, right.

Almost like cinema--

- 'Roman Holiday.'

Yeah. Very cinematic.

I think that I would like to try

and do a--

But the charming side

of ltalian film,

rather than the broody,

moody side.

Of course,

but look how beautiful,

her with the people

in the background.

I mean, I want things

that are quite spectacular.

And I want to do something to do

with the Vespas in St. Peter's Square.

And then I wanted something

with horses and soldiers.

I mean,

there is a lot of white.

Like, I love that.

The feeling of this white.

There's the pastry shop,

which is all white.

I mean, there's a lot of white.

I don't know why I keep on looking

at things that are white.

You know, the white horses.

Because I think that

that would be good use for this.

And then I love this idea...

...of putting the horse

in odd places as well.

But I just don't want that to be

the whole thrust of the story.

Now let's talk about her, because

her hair is not looking its best.

We had thought

of putting a wig on her.

Like a little blond wig.

- Well, I think that's a great idea.

A really graphic one.

Yeah, blond.

My advice, since

we're going to be short on time,

is if we decide on a look...

...and just stay with it because

you don't wanna waste hours.

Oh, no. I would do a look,

and that's her look.

Great.

I'm really excited about this.

This is gonna be the biggest one

in our history.

It is an amazing room, no?

Incredible.

You should have a party here.

What, the September one

is gonna be the--

What, how many pages,

like 10,000?

I don't know yet

but it's the biggest in our history, so.

Really?

- Yep. So we're excited.

I should have a party here, no?

Paris is so beautiful.

It really is.

I never dreamt to be a model...

...or never, never dreamt

to be a fashion editor.

But I just loved

the pages and the pictures.

In my early years

as a fashion editor,

I worked with Norman Parkinson,

who was

a really big photographer.

And he taught me

to always keep your eyes open,

you know, never to go to sleep

in the car or anything like that.

Keep watching, because

whatever you see out the window...

...or wherever,

it can inspire you.

It is amazing.

It's sort of strange

to think how old it is.

It's beautiful.

I think I got left behind somewhere,

'cause I'm still a romantic.

You have to go charging ahead.

You can't stay behind.

She looks good.

- Good.

Move her head just a tiny bit forward

so you get like an 's.'

Good. That's the one. Good.

Oh, wow.

Anna? How are you?

We're doing very well.

I'm sitting here

with Mario and everybody.

Sienna's here.

We're doing a wig.

Everything's great.

Let's divide our story ideas.

Let's do four visual locations.

Let's say...

That's pretty spectacular,

don't you think?

I mean, look.

You've got the Coliseum.

It is beautiful.

- It's beautiful.

I think we don't need it.

Got beautiful open shade light.

I mean, it's so pretty.

That is what I'm wondering,

whether we want pretty.

I find I've done this hair,

like, really- -

I would love something new.

A new proposition.

Yeah.

We tried the wig,

and it did not work.

And we moved on.

And we moved on

in the right direction, I think.

There, wow. Stay there.

Don't move.

This is your face. Don't move.

This is really beautiful, no?

I like that freshness.

It's the September cover.

Come, Sienna. Come.

Okay, again.

Go, go, go, go.

And again.

Come forward. Come forward.

Go there.

That's quite a view.

Isn't it, Mario?

I can certainly

get rid of the head thing.

Do you wanna get rid

of the head thing?

Maybe. Maybe it's not good.

Grace, thanks for the pie.

I just don't know

if I should eat that...

'cause the corsets are so tight.

That's not going to make

a difference, Raquel.

Hello.

There.

Fantastico.

Can you breathe?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

That's incredible.

That's beautiful.

And the expression here

is very lovely.

Just play with your hands

a little, Raquel, for me.

Oh, wow.

That's beautiful.

- It ain't bad.

I think you got it.

- Okay.

Let's go. Thanks.

- Well done, Raquel.

Let's go, Andre, left, left.

Ms. Wintour inaugurated me

into health by intervention.

She saved my life, I guess,

in the long-term...

...because she intervened

about three years ago...

...that I got to lose the weight.

So, naturally,

what Ms. Wintour says goes.

So I took up tennis.

Over your shoulder.

Come on. Good.

I wouldn't come

to the tennis court...

...in just a pair of shorts

and a tennis shirt.

I go to Damon Dash

for my trousers.

I go to Ralph Lauren

for the shirts.

This is my version

of a tennis watch.

It's a Piaget

from the sixties.

But I would wear this

to the tennis court.

I would wear it all day long.

It's all a part of the whole life

of being who I am.

I have to get up and approach life

with my own aesthetics about style.

Anna Wintour's office.

The magazine will be

actually almost nine million up...

...when we come out of September.

Wonderful.

This is not a great-looking opener.

I mean,

this is a cleaner opener.

You know,

the girl looking at you.

You want to open with something

people want to read, I think.

Do you need me, Charlie?

- Yes, the Couture's here.

Oh, great.
