Best Fashion Films

A true fashion film should not only be an inspirational enjoyment, but also an accessible form of documenting the zeitgeist and lifestyle of a poignant era.

1. Factory Girl
1960's
A huge personal favourite of mine. Documenting the life of Edie Sedgwick, one of the very first New York socialites and her "mod" inspired glamour.

2. Control
1970's
Thoughtfully filmed in black and white, this film explores the life and death of Joy Division star Ian Curtis, and the post-punk, early grunge environment he was surrounded by.

3. Worried About The Boy
1980's
Set in the centre of London, this is the story of Boy George and how he was accepted into, and contributed to the "mod-revival" movement.

4. This is England
1980's
A film illustrating the "skin-head" subculture, beginnings of 90's grunge, and the relevance of image and belonging.

5. Sex and the City
1990-2000's
Although the films have become more of an advertising avenue and yes, admittedly the series was a million times better, it is hard to ignore the social documentation that this fashion phenomenon is achieving; one that we will surely look back on in years to come.
