Wanna see Anna Wintour‘s eulogy for Isabella Blow, André Leon Talley’s reaction to being directed to eat lunch in a car, and a tantalizing reference to that time Grace Coddington went to a cat show with Thakoon Panichgul?
The below clip — an extended version of the Coddington-styled couture shoot scene — actually contains one of the film’s best lines. “I always say, you only need one person different in the whole team, and you try to take the same picture again, it’ll never be the same, because it’s all about people. And it’s about people’s reactions to each other, and it’s about a mood, it’s about that moment. You know, is the sun in? Or is it out? Is it hot or is it cold? Are people having a good time, are people bored? It’s all to do with their personalities.” So much time, effort, life, and experience goes into the production of any fashion story, and Coddington expresses very well that curious process by which so much that is broad and real telescopes into pictures that are so small and flat.
