I adore fashion...I adore movies...I adore fashion movies! Below are my top picks available for streaming on Netflix:
Bill Cunningham New York - The most recent addition to my list of favorites. Bill is an amazing, one of a kind character that literally set the gold standard for street style photography ages before everyone else. He is charming and humble and revered by all the major players in fashion, past and present.
The September Issue - Any movie with that much Anna Wintour is a must see in my book. The inside look into what it takes to assemble the biggest issue of the year in the most important fashion magazine is fascinating! Bonus: I fell in love with Grace Coddington...worship!
Picture Me - This documentary about model Sara Ziff follows her from the start of her career and chronicles the highs and lows of her journey through the industry. The footage is shot by a combination of people, including Sara herself. What I thought would be a fun, frothy film wound up to be a compelling inside look at an industry that isn't always as glamorous as it seems.
Pret a Porter/Ready to Wear - A super fun, star studded Robert Altman romp through Paris Fashion Week. It's a hilarious, tongue in cheek look at what is sometimes a ridiculous, overly dramatic industry. Major fashion cameos are included as well as actual runway shows chock full of amazing clothes...and the soundtrack is perfectly on pitch for fashion in the 1990's.
Seamless - A fascinating look at the process of winning the first ever CFDA Fashion Award...won of course by fashion darlings, Jack McCullough & Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler. Doo.Ri almost steals the show with her endearing personality and incredible work ethic against major challenges.
Designers, Fashions & Runways - A 26 episode series of behind the scenes footage of world renowned high fashion designers.
Starz Inside: Fashion in Film - Examines fashion's impact on film.
Unzipped: This documentary follows Isaac Mizrahi as he produces his New York Fashion Week runway show in 1994. The scene of Mizrahi in his bed, waxing poetic about walking a dog in a fur jumpsuit still has me laughing today...
ps - I didn't include Valentino: The Last Emperor as it is not currently available on Netflix but it's a wonderful film and should not be missed...
