Especially when you are starting to research fashion, movies can be really helpful. So I made a list of the ones that helped me pave the way into this world. In this list, there will be movies and documentaries, because as you will see, each one has a different style and approach, and it is important to get to know them.
The September Issue (2009)
The first one of this list is one of my favorites. It is about how Vogue works around the September Issue of the magazine, which is the most important one of the year.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
This one is a classic. With the same vibe as The September Issue, is a must watch.
