10 Greatest Films For Fashion Lovers

Fashion and Films go hand in hand, even if the movie isn't specifically about the fashion industry itself, wardrobes always play an essential part in helping to tell a story and illustrate specific themes. Certain costumes can become iconic, and make a film instantly recognisable.

Likewise, films are an extremely effective way of telling a story, especially as a way of bringing a viewer behind the scenes to an otherwise out of bounds area. Many fashion houses have opened their doors to documentary film crews in order to highlight the work that is put into creating a collection. Films have also been used to tell the story of the interesting people in the industry and have brought us right back to relive moments generations before we were born, but which are still influencing what we wear today.

Fashion transcends into all film genres, from comedies about fashion obsessed teens, to documentaries about some of the major influencers in the industry, so whether you're a major film buff or just really into fashion, these films cover both bases, so unhook the phone, stock up on the snacks, and prepare yourself for a good old cinema binge. The stories told in some of the films range in emotion from hilariously funny, to heartbreaking and inspiring, but all of them are must-see for various reasons.

The behind the scenes look at the creation of Vogue's 2007 September issue, follows the editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and the rest of the Vogue staff. The September issue is generally seen as being the most important issue of the year in fashion circles, and this film shows the effort the editorial team puts into making it, as well as highlighting the relationship between Wintour and stylist Grace Coddington. Viewers also get a glimpse into Wintour's private life, and a behind the scenes view of her infamous frost personality.

For anyone interested in fashion journalism and the behind the scenes workings of the magazine industry this film is definitely a must-see, as it gives an honest look at the workings of the most major fashion magazine, and shows that even the formidable Anna Wintour gets stressed near a deadline.
