    Zoolander was honestly my gateway doc. I get why people mistake a lot of the fashion icons featured in the film as other american celebrities, but that's just because they don't get the time in the lime light that they deserve.

    Some British Designer documentaries I recommend, alongside McQueen, would be Westwood: Punk,Icon,Activist (2018) and Paul Smith: Gentleman Designer (2015) I think the juxtaposition of those 3 designers really helps map out some of the history of British fashion. As someone who doesn't really care for paul smith's worth I actually really liked the documentary and just hearing the way he works as a creative, compared to someone a lot more extreme like Alexander.

    Watching the True Cost changed my life. It's one of those movies you never forget. If you watch any of these Documentary's, The True Cost is one to consider. You the customer are more powerful than you think, your money is power, be careful where you shop and support small businesses or invest in quality items that wont wear out as fast it really makes a big difference.

    Dries is single handedly the best fashion documentary of all time. I remembered taking a euro bus from Paris to Bruxelles just to see the film premiere because I didn't want to wait for a year or so before it became available in France (that was what had happened with Dior and I).

    Hi Bliss, a great documentary about renown bespoke suit maker, Antonio Liverano: il Colori di Antonio. There is also the documentary if the Neapolitan bespoke masters: O'Mast. As you can tell, I'm into bespoke suit making! Even if you're not, it may give you an insight into his technically skilled these guys are and how neapolitans turned traditional suit making into something softer and more stylish.
    Great video and list of docs!

    Fabulous video! I am confident that with your passion, talent, and breadth of knowledge about fashion, you’d create a documentary worthy to be compared to the ones you reviewed. I look forward to it! I was surprised to see the omission of a number of Loic Prigent documentaries such as the excellent Signe Chanel. Also, since you included Unzipped, Catwalk was another 90’s fashion video, which was my gateway drug into the world fashion.

    Another one I would suggest is the Chanel episode of 7 Days Out on Netflix. I guess it’s not technically a “documentary” but I think it’s a really good look into the behind the scenes of a Chanel show production and really highlights the seamstresses in the Chanel ateliers.

    Interviewees: EVERYONE. Armani, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Isaac Mizrahi, ISSEY MIYAKI, tons of fashion journalists... such a gem.
    Quote on New Yorks 7th avenue rag trade: "Whatever its designers artistic or cultural pretentions, the fashion industries amalgam of cheap labour and artisinal skill, serving planned obsolesence, makes it a paradigm of the workings of capitalism."

    -Signe Chanel (another by Loïc Prigent)

    -L'amour Fou (the story of YSL)
    -The Editor's Eye (Vogue doc on editors past and present)
    -Westwood (tbh not in love with it but insightful)

    If you have BBCiplayer I found Cutting up Rough a 1997 McQueen documentary that follows Alexander Mcqueen doing both his own and the Givenchy collection. You see his process and he explains in his own words. Also in the same place Slate Julien Macdonald Similar format to the McQueen doc and speakx directly with the designer.

    I recommend the devil wears Prada. Simply put the as a documentary on fashion, absolute horseshit, but as pure surface level entertainment its up the with Avengers Infinity war. Most important aspect about the movie is expression, something the average laymen couldn't understand.

    Not sure if it counts as a fashion documentary but I also think "Luxury: Behind the mirrors of high-end fashion" is very important to watch ! Its available on the DW Documentary UA-cam Channel, but some parts were kinda hard to watch for me personally because of the unwell treatment of fluffy friends. It falls under the same kind of category as "True Cost" so its probably not for everyone

    you missed: Yves Saint Laurent l’amour fou, it’s a really good and personal documentary most of it told through his ex boyfriends point of view
