The personal influences of Grace Mirabella and Anna Wintour respectively were found in the fashion content of the September issues. Vogue issues analyzed from Mirabella's editorship shoa concentration of fashion content on the functionality of clothing with a focus on American designers. The Vogue issues analyzed from Wintour's editorship had a fashion content concentrating on the combination of European and American designers, and a mixture of high and low-end fashion.
