Let's face it - your netflix queue is destined run out of popular box office movies, and the Devil Wears Prada isn't exactly an accurate interpretation of the fashion industry (although it comes close in some instances). So why not learn something about your favorite fashion folks? I've seen several of these lesser-known fashion films, most of which are documentaries, and the rest are on my queue.
My recommendations
1. Yves Saint Laurent: His Life & Times (2004)
2. Lagerfeld Confidential (2007)
3. The September Issue (2008)
4. Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens (2008)
5. Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton (2007)
6. Seamless (2005)
7. Coco Chanel (2008)
Have you seen any of these films, and what did you think of them? What is your favorite fashion film? Post your comments below, and I will add any relevant films to my list!
I turned off "Lagerfeld Confidential" after the first 10 mins. I was bored stiff. I have yet to enjoy a fashion documentary... but if your listing of "Coco Chanel" (2008) is the bio pic starring Shirley McLaine, well that was just marvelous.
