It depicts the effort that goes into making the magazine, and the passion that Grace Coddington, a former model turned creative director and the only person who dares to stand up to Wintour, has for the highly regarded fashion periodical. In the film, Coddington is often portrayed as the leading victim to Wintour’s aggressive personality. The film features appearances by many well-known and influential people in the fashion industry, including John Galliano, Oscar de la Renta, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, and Vera Wang. (Rated PG-13 | 2009 | 1 hour, 30 minutes) Watch the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq4wo4JYy2s This screening is sponsored by Mignon Faget.
