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.
Mine was Bruno
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.
Alber & Lanvin by Loïc Prigent is an amazing snapshot of the last 48 hours to a fashion show
Loic has such great snapshots! I would love to see him deep dive even more
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.
thank you so much Bliss!!!
This video just kept me in the house for the next 2 days while I binge all these docu's...thaaank youuuuu!!!!
Thank you!!! Great content in every video
I’ve been waiting for a video like this.
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.
I was just binging all your videos and I got a notification for a new one ;)
This is a goldmine! This is insane, I can't wait to get my paycheck so I can support you, not so much for the new content but for this as well I feel like I should be paying to watch this fantastic video!
That means so much to me, Ingrid 😊 thank you 🙏 🙏
thanks so much!!! I don`t even know where to start. Now I got sooo much content to watch
Start anywhere! Watch as many as you can, wait a few months, then watch them all again!
Bliss, I discovered your channel a couple of days ago, and this is only the second video I've watched here, and I am subscribing to your Patreon. This is incredible content; thank you for making it. Looking forward to learning more.
That means a ton to me 🙏
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).
The Battle at Versailles documentary left out....American vs. Paris designers in 1978, including the advent of black models used in runway shows, documentary should be required viewing!
Gia (1998) is a good one. Biopic of Gia Carangi. I personally don’t know too much on model culture, and after watching this I spent a week looking up everything about Gia and all other supermodels.
Well, this creator gets it. Brava to young experts imparting a point of view and full understanding of the industry, craft, and it’s community. Full breath of fresh air. Xx
You’re a G for this sir.
Love all these! There was also “Baring It All: Inside New York Fashion Week”. However, I really wish there were more Fashion Business/Retail/Merchandising/Buying Documentaries in the world 🙁 I want to learn more about people like Ken Downing etc.
There were some movies that I didn’t know because they haven’t been released in my country JAPAN. So thank you for introducing ☺️
Thank you for this Video! I will have hours to watch this weekend
Bliss.... thank you so so much.
Thank you so much for this breakdown
Bliss Foster I’m so glad I discovered you
Versaille '73 is literally the greatest documentary I've ever seen which. tells the tale of what may have been the greatest fashion show in history. Definitely a must watch!
Another one I’d recommend which you didn’t mention is Celebration (2007) about the final shows of Yves Saint Laurent.
Awesome!! Thank you!!
Disappointed not to see The Devil Wears Prada on this list, but good video I guess
It's not a doc ..
Rarely do I ever watch a movie, let alone a documentary more than once. Now, it’s even rarer for me to try because of a movie.
Watched McQueen 4 times already and cried every single time. Truly brilliant!
Isaac Mizrahi is one of the few designers I knew of before I started watching a ton of Fashion TH-cam. I remember that he was on Project Runway for awhile, and also that there was a (set? line?) of Isaac Mizrahi tissue boxes.
Great video! I would've also loved to see you mention the Halston documentary as well.
Yves Saint Laurent : the life story of the man who re-imagined women’s fashion:
Contains ; HIS LIFE & TIMES
and. 5. AVENUE MARCEAU 75116 PARIS
( I own most of the fashion documentaries you mention ; this is a MUST . I look at it more than DRIES…. & I worship dries .)
Catwalk is one of the best fashion documentaries. Portfolio is one from the 80s that is great.
Thanks Matthew 💫💫
Yes, thank you! Catwalk was my gateway video into the fashion world. Stylistically, it’s very similar to Unzipped (very 90’s), but better!
Franca: Chaos and Creation, a must watch!!
you made my life so much easier man !!! stay high on energy
Classic Video from Bliss Foster
I love a doc called "Jeans: a pale blue planet".
I think it's avalable in M2M's youtube channel.
Is Zoolander a documentary?
That’s what I was thinking. It’s a movie not a documentary.
I laughed
i think it was a joke
it is
Lolol right ?!?
Yeah!!! You missed a really important one!!!! -- CATWALK
Great content as per usual. Please suggest/recommend sites (preferably free) where we can stream these documentaries. thx.
It’s tough to do that bc they’re constantly changing 😕 Just Google around, you’ll find em 🦾
my favorite doc is FASHION! by Olivier Nicklaus which includes Golden Eighties, ANTIFASHION and Go Global, i have the DVD and the Extras are magnificent!
Ty Bliss 😵💫
LOVE THIS
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.
Directed by Andrew Rossi who also directed The First Monday in May!
I love that one!
RIP Iris, a rare bird indeed.
Huh. I was just googling ‘fashion documentaries’ 6 hrs ago & here you are.
Don't forget about the YSL documentaries such as Celebration!!
Model by Frederick Wiseman. Very detailed and granular look at a modelling agency in the 80s. Amazing doc
Bliss, have you seen "Rick, Michele, and Scarlett" (dir. Jan Sharp)? An unorthodox fashion doc. It's available on YT.
I watched a doc about Zac Posen and it was great. He still lived at home with his mum in a New York apartment and he made all the clothes there. He didn't have a proper studio. I haven't finished the video so I don't know if you mention it here yet.
Edit: you did- House of Z
Heya, love the list and defo need to check some of these out. Ones that I watched and loved are:
-Halston (2019 documentary by dogwoof) - obviously there is the netflix series, but this documentary is great!
-Le jour d'avant (series by Loïc Prigent for ARTE): list of designers include (Fendi, Lanvin, JPG, and more).
-Signe Chanel (another by Loïc Prigent)
-Loïc Prigent's youtube channel (he has an amazing ability to make designers feel at ease around him and you get to see a range of labels from Marine Serre, Botter, Fendi and Chanel and many more)
-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)
-Margiela AW20 process film (documented by Nick Knight and Showstudio team): interesting process film
not a doc, but “The Phantom Thread” is a film about a director of a fashion house and his new lover and it’s a really slow-burning, but extremely beautiful movie!
Not Zoolander getting recognized as a documentary 💀
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.
with love xo..
2009 Coco before Chanel, *2013 Fabulous Fashionistas, 2013 House of Versace, 2007 Lagerfield Confidential, 2002 The legend of Leigh Bowery, 1983 Style Wars, *2007 The Secret World of Haute Couture, 2010 Ultrasuede in Search of Halston, 2011 McQueen and I
Thank you for your list, I'll definitely be checking them out
Anyone got good suggestions for fashion movies? Like, I love “Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?” And “Prêt-à-Porter.” Sidenote: I think Maison Margiela is referenced at the end of Prêt-à-Porter.
Dapper Dan needs a documentary.
there is another doc on mcqueen called mcqueen and i, it's on youtube. I always kinda likes it more than the new mcqueen, probably bc i watched it first but yeah. Def worht watching.
Hi Bliss 🎉, sooooo…. Instead of the movie McQueen ( which sadly really wasn’t so good) I would like to mention the documentary”McQueen and I”. Much more detailed and interesting (in my opinion 😊. That movie did for me the finale push to study and become a fashion designer 🕺🏻.
You are doing magic by the way you work and describe and I love your channel so much. Thank you for that ❤
McQueen and I, for me, eclipses the more recent McQueen, albeit they are both phenomenal. Great list though, and cheers for compiling.
Maybe also check out:
7 days out, there's an episode on Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld (rip)
Phantom Thread, not really informative about fashion but still a really good film about a dressmaker
Is there a reason why paris is burning is listed in the description but isn't mentioned in the video?
We knew what country Martin lived in :) He is considered the 7th of the Antwerp six 💫 Greets from Belgium!
Haha sorry, I meant what country he currently resides in 😊 Hes definitely Belgian 💫💫
@@BlissFoster No problem 😊 We don't have a lot of national pride here, Martin is all we got ;) Love your content btw
You should have national pride!! You have the Antwerp six, Martin, Demna went to school at the royal academy, and Jan Jan! There’s so much excellence that comes out of Belgium!
Don’t forget about the vivienne westwood one on prime!
Where can i find these documentaries? There are only a few in torrent.
The Manolo documentary is one of my absolute favorites.
Bergof Goodman is still in business
Is 'Paris is burning' some kind of easter egg? It is the first documentary I noticed in the list but it is not in the video.
The one about Susanne Bartsch is interesting.
Signé chanel was also great. But you have to watch it in French or German
Yes, yes, 100% Yes! Signe Chanel should have definitely been included on this list!
did you ever get around to watching the manolo doc? highly recommend.
The best one is a BBC series from the 90's called The Look. It's on YT!
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."
Great stuff!
Idk if you'll read this comment but it's worth a shot. What would you recommend for someone who knows absolutely nothing about fashion? I started learning how to draw when the pandemic started and I think that learning about fashion will make me a better artist as I'm starting to come up with my own characters.
That’s a tough one. What’s your style? Like what type of characters? The McQueen doc is probably the most fantastical of the bunch if I was just throwing out a guess tho 💫💫
@@BlissFoster My personal style is 1993 record store employee but my girlfriend and I have been trying to create a cast of characters that combine my love of fighting games and her love for tabletop role playing games. I'm looking for inspiration from pretty much anywhere and I'd like to be able make a diverse array of aesthetics to match their diverse array of personalities and fighting styles.
Yeah, McQueen for sure. Look at old Galliano shows at Dior and look at basically everything by Hood By Air. No docs for those last two but the shows will give you tons of inspo
@@BlissFoster thank you! I'll definitely check those out!
Was anyone able to find Franca: Chaos and Creation? I have been searching for it everywhere for the last month and can’t find it anywhere.
Da PP Man made the list!!!!! its lit!!!!
Try RENEGADES OF FASHION - its a Series
I have seen Rei kawakubo n yohji yamamoto’s it’s good
Isaac Mizrahi 😆 I remember he did a Collab with Target and Oprah had him on her show promoting it. Yea I'm old
Anyone know I can watch Yoji s Dressmaker in the UK?
Also recommended the Vivienne Westwood documentary and the Ozwald Botang
where can i find these movies?
Anyone know where I can watch Yohji Yamamoto: Dressmaker? Can I buy it somewhere?
Halston is a good documentary on Amazon Prime. Not just a netflix show. Also Lagerfeld confidential
where could i watch them for free?
Here are three that are missing. Yves Saint Laurent's The Life and Times, and L'Amour Fou plus Guy Bourdin's "When the Sky Fell."
Thank you!!
@@BlissFoster One More. "Looking for Stephen Sprouse."
Ultra violet … looking for Halston …… this ones major
Le Vestairie masculin scrute par Loic Prigent Arte is quite good
Hi! where can I watch all these documenatries, I am from India and its not available on amazon prime or Netflix? how can I watch them?
Did you sneak Zoolander in there to check if we were paying attention 🤔
Yes!
Oh shit! Bahahaha
hi guys
anyone knows where can i watch any of these?
Up the algorithm u go
Thanks homie 😌
Anyone tell you that you look like Matthew Lillard in Serial Mom?
Where can i watch all these documentaries though
How old am I? How can someone not know Isaac Mizrahi was sooo over saturated in the 90’s.
Where to find these
does anybody know where I could watch House of Z? can't find it
Where can I watch all this Documentaries?
Google them! 😊 there’s no single place
About Face is ELITE
Could you expand upon why Zoolander is a doco? Is it based on a true story? :) x
That was a joke 😊
@@BlissFoster JEEZ LOUISE you had me so scared and confused… Momentarily questioning everything 😆
Haha i can't believe that there are a people didn't get that it was a joke.
I love how you slipped it in there and talked like you were serious.
Most TH-camrs would say "just kidding" or something to make it more clear. Like how tv uses a laugh track to tell the audience when they are supposed to laugh.
Wuyong: Useless, about the designer Ma Ke
where we can find these documentary ?
It’s different for every country 💫💫 the best thing to do is just Google each of them individually for your country 🦾
You Missed Christian Audigier form Ed&Hardy/ Von dutch documentary. I strongly suggest u check it out. Its a kinda sad though so bring your tissue
