the september issue

i love fall. i love it more than any other season, and if my life was fated to be stuck in some sort of groundhog day-esque rotation, i’d love for it to be the september issue. over and over and over again. fortunately, our lives need not be at stake for such a terrible fate because “the september issue” hits theatres quite soon, after having premiered tonight in nyc at MoMA. two more clips have been released today, and frankly, i’m excited for the excruciating levels of brutal honesty the film seems to explore. we all know that photoshopping and other sorts of digital corruption occur when it comes to putting together a magazine editorial, and i find it exceedingly refreshing that anna wintour is willing to admit these realities and henceforth share such processes with the general public. i’m all about fakin’ it till you make it. just be willing to own the fallacies once they come to the surface.

check out these clips…i could watch anna wintour everyday of my life. so fascinated by this powerful, shades-eternally-drawn, bobbed woman.

please tell me you’re all planning your project runway parties…erin (and i, only because…gasp, i was able to get it off work. i about died when i realized my mistake) has planned a brilliant appetizer menu for ours, and i’ll provide the things i do best: salad in a bag from trader joe’s, hummus, and a year’s worth of red wine. it will be spectacular. i’m excited to engage in elaborate post-show discussions. and don’t worry, i’ve already called my mother, lori, tonight to alert her of the event, and she’ll be calling my grandmother asap in the morning. we take project runway very seriously in my family.

dreaming of the runway

lifetime announced on the 11th that they’re going to ease the seemingly unbearable transition of project runway from bravo to lifetime by opening the season with a “project runway: all star challenge,” featuring the best of the best from previous seasons working their fash magic in a 2 hour challenge. i’m a bit of a project runway fantatic (i cried when leann won last year, and continue to cry whenever i see the finale rerun), and was even more beside myself when i saw who the contestants are. they’re totally some of my all time faves, and i can’t wait to see them compete against one another. the contestants are, as follows:

daniel vosovic, season 2

santino rice, season 2

jeffrey sebelia, season 3

uli herzner, season 3

michael knight, season 3

chris march, season 4

sweet p, season 4

korto momolu, season 5

i’ll be honest here…i’m kind of rooting for uli. it’s probably in part due to the fact that i’m currently rewatching season 3, but i think she’s a wonderful designer, with a point-of-view that’s so timeless yet so contemporary. let’s not forget the fact that she’s the most charming little german you ever did see…next to ms. klum, of course. i love daniel vosovic, too, and have always wanted to make him straight and have him fall in love with me, but i feel like he got sliiiiiightly cocky, and i didn’t love that. sweet p? fo shiz? maybe christian wouldn’t do it or something, but sweet p doesn’t stand out to me at all, except for her made-up nickname. i think everyone else is perfectly legit.

who do you think is missing? who would you like to win out of the participating designers?
