I have a confession – I’m in a long term relationship…with Netflix. And Hulu+. And HBO Go too. I know I know, I shouldn’t be involved with so many streaming commitments, but sometimes a girl can’t help herself – especially when there are so many fashion films to be watched!
Madalyn curated a few of her favorite fashion films, and I’m totally embarrassed to say I’ve missed the boat on all of these – oops! Thankfully my intern not only helps me with the day to day, but also become a better wannabe fashion blogger too!
Here are a few flicks worth checking out – I know I’ll be streaming a few of these ASAP!
1. Bill Cunningham New York: All about the famous {and adorable} NYC fashion photographer.
2. Mademoiselle C: A documentary on Carine Roitfeld {former Vogue Paris EIC} as she moved to NYC to launch her own magazine.
3. Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s: All about the Manhattan department store through the world’s most fashionable people.
4. Coco Before Chanel: The real story behind everyone’s favorite French designer.
5. The Tents: A rare behind-the-scenes look at NYC fashion week {where Madalyn will be interning at Donna Karan this year!}
6. Valentino: The Last Emperor: The life of the legendary designer.
7. L’Amour Fou: The love story behind designer Yves Saint-Lauren and Pierre Berge.
8. The September Issue: A behind the scenes look at Anna Wintour preparing for the 2007 fall issue of Vogue.
9. Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel: A look into the life of famous fashion editor of Harpers Bazaar, Diana Vreelnad.
Any more fashion flicks to add to my queue? Hook a sister up! xx
The Valentino and September Issue documentaries are fabulous – I think you'll really enjoy them! The Coco Chanel one also has been on my list to watch for quite some time. 🙂
We have cable and the only show I ever watch (The Big Bang Theory) is on one of the free channels haha. I'm seriously contemplating getting rid of it and giving Netflix a go….I've just gotta convince Pete.
I'm going to be honest and say that I have never, ever heard of basically any of these.
Give me a marathon day of these flicks + lots of popcorn, and maybe wine. And maybe Chinese takeout.

Ohh I must watch ALL of these!! I have The September Issue, which is fascinating, but I haven't seen the others. I am dying to see The Tents since NYFW is coming up!
