In the documentary: The September Issue
"In the documentary The September Issue, Anna Wintour systematically rejects the ideas of her creative director Grace Coddington, seemingly with no reason aside from asserting her power."
Having watched it, t's entirely possible that they cut the explanatory bits to frame Wintour as even more cold as she is in public persona. I wouldn't be surprised.
But in any case, she's the Editor-in-Chief, which makes her the final filter. She's goes a lot by her hunch which is based on taste, a palette that revitalized Vogue and kept it relevant in the fashion industry. Taste is hard to justify.
In such cases, I don't think it's so much about people not digging creativity so much as the idea isn't there. That's just part of being creative. Sometimes you think you're doing interesting work and it's actually not as good as you think it is.
