In many ways, this is the September Issue with different accents. The titular Mademoiselle is Carine Roitfeld, ex-editor of French Vogue who decided to go it alone and set up her own magazine. And this is part biography, part industry documentary and quite a lot of fashion flummery. Unlike The September Issue, it doesn’t get very deep into the artistry and pig-headedness it takes to create a fashion magazine, and Roitfeld, an interesting character, is frequently nudged aside for frocks. If you want to know what happens on a fashion shoot, fill your expensive boots. If you want the real story of starting over, browse elsewhere.
