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.
我要谴责《9月刊》(The September Issue)——由RJ•卡特勒(RJ Cutler)在去年推出的一部纪录片,讲述的是9月号《时尚》(Vogue)杂志美国版的制作过程(该杂志又被称为年度最大页数、最大重量的杂志)。毕竟,各式精美的9月号杂志虽然在时装业内早就占据重要地位(源于它们通过广告页产生的收入),但在时装业之外,它却不算什么,不值得大肆宣传。不过,这都是落伍的说法了。
