VOGUE:Fashion News - Four Fashion Films to watch in 2018
We all love the thrill of a little Stranger Things, and the lure of Friends after a hard day at work is never lost on tired eyes, but there’s no doubt that a well made fashion film is high on our list of must-watches. Whether they’re documentaries, fashion-centric comedies or high-flying dramas, there’s something to be said about a movie revolving around our favourite topic. Luckily for us, 2018 is set to be the year of the fashion film. Here, we put together the upcoming films no doubt set to be become cult favourites — and although we’re not sure anything will ever beat The Devil Wears Prada, we’re willing to watch them all to find out.
Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist
Set to celebrate the icon that is Vivienne Westwood, this documentary will show the life of the designer up close and personal. Including interviews from her closest friends and family, including Joseph Corré, the documentary will be part fashion history lesson and part showcase of a legend. We’re in.
The Times of Bill
Following the life of the iconic late photographer Bill Cunningham, who is heralded with popularising street style, comes The Times of Bill. Written and directed by Mark Bozek, narration by Sarah Jessica Parker, animations by Ruben Toledo and a theme song by supermodel Pat Cleveland, the documentary is set to be a star-studded, who’s who of fashion affair.
Oceans Eight
It might not be a documentary, but Oceans Eight is no doubt going to be one of the biggest fashion films of the year. With an all-star (and completely female) cast, including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Rihanna (and that’s just the beginning), the movie follows a heist at the Met Gala. Plus, part of the film was even shot in the New York-based Vogue US offices. Sounds like a fashion film to us.
McQueen
Long awaited and much anticipated, it seems a biopic of Alexander McQueen will finally be released in 2018, with production for McQueen finally underway by company Bleeker Street. According to Variety, the film will follow the life of the designer up until his untimely death at age 40, in 2010.
