On the heels of The Devil Wears Prada 2, we decided to celebrate the icon that inspired it all: Anna Wintour. Before we dive into the world of fashion journalism, we discuss Send Help and the Ohio Goes to the Movies screening of The Hunger Games. Stay tuned for some exciting things happening with the podcast later this summer! In this episode, we also discuss the fifth episode of Euphoria and…what is there really to say…

Even if you’re not big into the fashion industry, you have to admire the hard work and influential nature of Anna Wintour. She headed Vogue for decades and this week we watched two documentaries that show us more about her personal and work life. The Devil Wears Prada began as a book written by a former Wintour assistant, and The September Issue comes shortly after the movie adaptation. It shows all the work that goes into creating the most anticipated issue of Vogue, The September Issue, and it really is like a time capsule for the early 2000s. It’s clear that this was made to not only “save face” after the popularity of The Devil Wears Prada, but also to give people a peek behind the curtain of fashion journalism. The First Monday in May comes about a decade later and breaks down the planning of the Met Gala. Again, we see a side of this event that we usually never get to see and it shows the true collaboration between Vogue and The Met. Through both of these documentaries, Wintour is shown as decisive, somewhat intimidating, but very respected. The Devil Wears Prada is a fan favorite and features iconic performances from Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. Yes, there are parts of this film that feel a little dated since it’s not 20 years old, but we feel it holds up overall. The sequel on the other hand, really feels like a cash grab to us. It’s not something we ever want to watch again, but it definitely could have been much worse.
