I blame The September Issue – the documentary by RJ Cutler released last year about the making of the September American Vogue, aka the fattest, most door-stopping magazine of the year. After all, although September issues of glossy magazines have long had importance inside the fashion industry (thanks to the revenue they generate via their advertising pages), outside the industry, it hasn’t been an event. Not something that merited a trumpeting press release. But that was then.
我要譴責《9月刊》(The September Issue)——由RJ•卡特勒(RJ Cutler)在去年推出的一部紀錄片,講述的是9月號《時尚》(Vogue)雜誌美國版的製作過程(該雜誌又被稱爲年度最大頁數、最大重量的雜誌)。畢竟,各式精美的9月號雜誌雖然在時裝業內早就佔據重要地位(源於它們通過廣告頁產生的收入),但在時裝業之外,它卻不算什麼,不值得大肆宣傳。不過,這都是落伍的說法了。
