Fashionista.com caught up with the man behind the project, Fabien Constant, who says the finished product will be just like T he September Issue, which the documentary's production company also happened to work on. It will track the production of the first issue of Carine's fledgling magazine CR Fashion Book , which was inspired by her daughter Julia's pregnancy.

"[The film] coincided with Julia's pregnancy and suddenly it gave her a new perspective on things," says Constant. "The idea of birth, renewal in CR is linked to what she was experiencing… It is about her arrival in New York, which was a brand new start for her."
