The September Issue

September 28, 2016

DKSEPTEMBERISSUE

Many of you might have seen the famous documentary, The September Issue. Having worked in the beauty and fashion industry, I see that as a very honest representation of the industry. I have watched the documentary several times and every time I watch it, I see a group of very hard working people to make an issue of a magazine very successful. To bring out a new issue, which essentially a book every month is not an easy feat.

Growing up, I used to love magazines. I remember begging my mum to let me subscribe for Seventeen magazine, and every month that it came out, I would religiously read it cover to cover and keep all the issues.

As I grew older, so did my magazine choices. I graduated from Seventeen to Elle and Vogue. However, once I started living on my own and earning my own money, I dint want to spend it on buying magazines. I gravitated towards blogs instead.

Last week, I was watching the September Issue documentary after many years and afterward went to the supermarket to get groceries when, there it was, the September issue of American Vogue hidden behind a ton of Arabic monthlies. Instantly I remembered that desire to read the September issue of American Vogue when I had first seen the documentary many years ago and I found myself reaching for the copy on the shelf and buying it; and while magazine issues usually come out a month before, given that I found this copy hidden behind a ton of Arabic magazines halfway across the world in Dubai, while it was still September, I thought it was still relevant.

I throughly enjoyed reading the issue. Never having read American Vogue or its September Issue before, I must say, I was amazed at adverts in it. Adverts are essential to the running of a magazine and the September Issue being the main issue of the year, I wasn’t surprised to see the quality and quantity of ads.

My favourite articles were:

  • Up front: An account of Kathleen Collin’s life by her daughter.
  • Architectural Gems: An article on Gaia Repose’s inspiration for jewellery designs from architecture.
  • In her Eyes: About three women photographers and their work
  • Amazing Grace: A picto-editorial featuring images and scenes that Grace Coddington has shot.
  • The Real Deal: The cover article on Kendall Jenner

Going forward, I want to try and collect the September Issue of the American Vogue annually, if possible, as I think it would be a fun collection to have.

Have you read the September Issue? What are your thoughts and which articles did you enjoy reading?

    I’m collecting September Issues of Vogue and they are fun. But lately I am disappointed in Vogue in general. There are more ads (not just Sept. issue) then actual articles. And yes, I know that is how magazines earn money, but it is become insane. And I am founding less and less articles to read in it. I am obsessed with PORTER magazine. It is new and so good.

    I literally can read it cover to cover every time comes out.

      Yes, true, I almost longed for the articles to start when I started flicking through the magazine. I’ve never read Porter Magazine but I think I should now. Thanks for the recommendation!

    I love buying Vogue and Elle, though I don’t purchase them religiously. However, when I don’t, I read their sites.

    I used to collect magazines but lost interest somewhere down the line. I really liked that documentary. It’s one of my favorite fashion ones. I haven’t flipped through this issue so I can’t say what articles are my favorite but the one featuring Grace Coddington and the other one about female photographers sounds good.

    I’m not a fan of the Kardashian/ Jenners, so I left this issue alone. Though, it is usually the one Vogue per year I may actually buy.

    Hi Deepti,

    I do love browsing through magazines though I noticed I never really read them vigorously, as in going through all the articles there, I am often than not, more captivated by the visuals presented in the fashion magazine *_^ Hence, I only buy them occasionally if I find one issue that is interesting. Other times, I usually browse them at the bookstores here. Alternatively I would buy a back-dated issue. I am not so into trends but rather contents that piqued my interest, so it is still fine by me.

    My favourite fashion magazine is actually ELLE UK!

    Thanks for dropping by LUMINNEJ, hope it will not be the last I see you. Have a lovely weekend ahead *_^ by the way, lovely blog you have here.

    With love,
    Jeann | LUMINNEJ
