So, on Sunday night, I watched the TV premiere of The September Issue -a behind the scenes documentary on US Vogue magazine's Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.
Wow! - it was compulsive viewing - I watched it initially thinking of a very stylish friend of mine who I knew would be ideal to work at Vogue.
By the end of it, despite not having a stylish, fashionable bone in my body, I was wishing I had a job there myself!
This was pretty much due to me loving Anna Wintour's right hand woman - Grace Coddington - the Creative Director, who was such a fantastic, talented person, who did these amazingly creative fashion shoots. They were like modern art...am I gushing? yes, I am..see... I belong in the world of fashion.
I loved Coddington and Wintour's relationship of begrudging admiration and respect mixed with wanting to give each other a good slap, their friction and passion for their jobs, obviously results in a great product.
Anyway, it got me thinking of the creativity that published magazines facilitate and excel at.
If we are going toward e-readers and a digital age that supplants published newspapers and magazines, what does this mean for creative spreads and layouts in magazines such as Vogue?
Have a look at the following link of how the magazine Sports Illustrated will look on the new Apple iPad.
Looks like the lovely work of Coddington will still live on. Phew Daarling!
