10 Greatest Films For Fashion Lovers
5. Dior And I
This film enters the behind the scenes world of the fashion house Christian Dior, and follows artistic director Raf Simons as he creates his first haute couture collection for the label. Entirely new to the world of Couture, this film gives us an honest look at the learning curve involved in learning the craft of couture fashion. We see Simons lean heavily on his experienced seamstresses and it shows beautifully how even the most experienced of us need to lean on other people from time to time.
From the initial conception right through to the final showing of the collection, we get a total in depth view of the creation of a collection as well as the efforts Simons and his creative team go to in order to pull it together.
Bringing together the pressure filled, stressful environment of a design house, and the various attitudes and personalities of everyone involved, from Simons himself, right down to his dedicated team of seamstresses who aim to bring his labour of love together.
