Yeah.

- You shot it, and it was--

And it was killed.

We just redid the layout.

I feel very excited to see...

...that there was a photo of mine

in the hallway.

Twenty years later.

Are we opening the issue?

Yes, as of now.

What do you mean 'as of now'?

Doesn't it have to ship?

Is that all I did?

That's all.

I seemed to, like, sweat like mad

to get these.

Whatever happened to the Coliseum,

I don' t know.

That was the only one.

That didn't work,

unfortunately.

You know we had little time,

and I wanted to do another cover,

and I said, I'm not gonna

spend three hours here.

I would rather do a cover.

Do you have the covers?

Right here.

It's between these two.

We're testing both for now.

Do you think I should use

this body and that head?

Let's look, let's do this.

Would this be more--

- It's a better neck.

We have to retouch a lot of this

because it's a lot of teeth.

It's very teethy.

And also there's a filling,

there's a couple of fillings there.

But we can fix that.

Of course. Absolutely.

I think that that is very inviting.

- When we put cover lines on there,

it's gonna be at you.

So that's the one.

But you're right.

I think that neck--

That shoulder is boring.

Might be more beautiful, no?

And I'm gonna dummy it up

that way, so.

Okay, great.

- All right.

There's no color stuff left

that hasn't already been shot...

...that is any good, so...

What is it called

that you're shooting?

I don't know.

I'm making it up

as I go along. Whoops.

And I've got two days.

Is this the last shoot

that we expect?

You'd better pray it is,

because otherwise

I don't know who's gonna shoot it.

The biggest issue of the year,

and we have to close,

and they're still shooting.

I had an idea, but I don't know

if I want to do it or not,

and it involves you.

That's why I'm asking.

Not you, Tonne.

My friend here.

How you feel today, good?

You feel young today?

Feel good?

I feel good, sir.

Can you jump?

Yeah, that's very fun.

This was great.

One more, okay?

That's great.

So we want her on the same page,

very close to him, like that?

Right.

Jumping, too.

That's good, I think.

She's looking right in the lens.

Good.

Here we go.

Awesome.

How many times

did they make you jump?

I like them. They're fun.

I mean, we just needed

a breath of fresh air in the issue.

Everything was quite dense.

They looks great.

Wearable, accessible, great props.

We're working on this one.

A little bit of retouching.

Need to go to the gym.

Anna.

But they look great.

I'm glad we redid it.

It's Patrick?

Patrick, yes.

Great.

Patrick and Grace.

Did she like them?

Oh, I bet.

Of course.

Due to which picture?

The jumping one?

Yeah.

No, but, you know, personally,

I think it's better that you're not,

like, skinny, skinny.

To me, it much more

makes the point then...

...that you're real people

and not models.

Everybody isn't perfect

in this world.

I mean, it's enough

that the models are perfect.

You don't need

to go to the gym.

Charlie? When you

are looking at Patrick's pictures,

please do not retouch

Bob's stomach.

No, please don't, because

I don't want him to look like,

you know,

a skinny male model.

But I just wanted

to catch his stomach...

...before you gave him a--

He's pulling it in now

as I speak.

Okay. All right.

Thanks, bye.

I'd better go and finish it.

- Me, too.

Enjoy, guys.

So make it good now.

Twenties, the color block,

polished.

And then

what about her teeth?

Oh, I've been working

on this a lot.

Gonna fix her neck.

So that's the new neck.

Yeah. It's the better covers.

This is the new neck on this.

- Okay, great.

So we have to write 'Sienna Miller'

large or people won't know.

You can't write 'Singular Sienna'

or 'Sensational Sienna.'

This all seems

so large and pretentious,

this type.

Looks like it's for blind people.

It's going to come out

like that, right?

Is she wearing feathers?

Are those feathers?

What are we supposed to do

with feathers this fall?

You just play with them.

And then there's a ring.

These aren't very good.

- No.

This is not in the correct order.

- Yes, it is.

More like this.

Do we have the book

and the cover there?

Is everything updated?

Yes, Anna.

And this is our cover girl...

...whom we took to Rome

with Mario Testino.

She was interviewed here

by Sally Singer.

We had the idea to do

a sort of Jazz Age shoot.

That's Thakoon,

and on the right is Chanel.

And that is the issue.

Very nice, Anna.

- Thank you.

Oh, my God.

Wasn't Sienna

originally the lead?

Yes, it was.

Just one more spread here.

Then it will be

my whole issue just about,

except for Sienna.

It looks great.

Fashion's

not about looking back.

It's always

about looking forward.

Okay, next.

Move the board.

Yes, we will.

I don't believe for one minute...

...that I have a sense

of what's gonna happen...

...or a sense of real change

the way Grace does.

I mean, Grace is a genius,

and there is no one

that can visualize a picture...

...or understand

the direction of fashion...

...or produce a great shoot.

I mean, she's just remarkable.

She and I don't always agree,

but I think that

over the years we've learned...

...how to deal with each other's

different points of view.

Anna Wintour's office.

Is anyone coming

to this run-through except for me?

So what else?

You know you're featured

in 'The September lssue'?

No way.

When is it coming out?

Is this better?

This is authority.

This is it or nothing.

This is it or nothing, okay?

When I got the pose, strike it.

That was a stroke of genius

on my side, I think.

I turned the cameras on you.

And it just came to me, like,

I was walking along the corridor,

and I was like, 'Oh, my God,

they're looking at my rack again.'

'Hang on a minute.

'I'll teach them.'

What's your strength?

Decisiveness.

Your weakness?

My children.

What gift would you like?

A better backhand.
