A collection of remarkable fashion films for a lazy Sunday

There is nothing better than a relaxing day at home with coffee, croissants and a good movie. Thanks to Netflix the options are endless, but sometimes too much choice can work against us and we settle with watching Gossip Girl for the 100th time.

Here are ten unique movies about the fashion world and its many facets that will inspire any fashionista. Whether it is raining outside or the Sun is too bright, from one glass too many of Rosé the night before - these movies are worth the hangover. Enjoy!

1 | Funny Face

Think Pink! A Hollywood classic starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Together they travel to Paris, dance all over the city of love and take glamorous photographs for Quality magazine. Audrey's outfits embody the ultimate Parisian chic. Fun Fact: Richard Avedon took some of the photos in the movie, and the magazine editor's character is based on Diana Vreeland

2 | Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel

Whether you like fashion or not, this movie will leave you dazzled with awe for this revolutionary icon and empress of fashion journalism. Diana Vreeland was the editor for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue for many years, starting her many years of success by writing the monthly column called "Why don't you..?". The Eye Has To Travel tells her life story and showcases all her amazing contributions to the fashion industry.

3 | Saint Laurent

The French biographic movie gives the audience a glimpse into the glamorous and crazy life of the famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Focusing on the wild parties of the sixties and seventies, the colorful outfits and travels to Marrakech make this movie a very eye-pleasing viewing experience. 

4 | Dior and I

J'adore! A documentary about the prestigious fashion house Dior and its creative director Raf Simons. Learn more about what happens at the Dior headquarters on the Avenue Montaigne and the creation of Simons' debut collection for Dior.

5 | Bill Cunningham: New York

This documentary tells the story of Bill Cunningham, the father of street style photography, and the evolution of trends over the years. A very heart-warming story of an artist who dedicated his life to his camera and the crazy outfits of New York's fashion crowd. 

6 | Zoolander

Derek Zoolander, a male model in New York, embodies every clichée about the modeling industry. This comedy will make you laugh from beginning to end. The cast includes Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, supermodel Milla Jovovich and David Bowie. 

7 | Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?

The art house movie follows the absurd life of American model Polly Maggoo and her crazy life in Paris. The film takes a very satirical take on the fashion industry, but just like Zoolander, it is very entertaining. Once again Diana Vreeland served as the inspiration for the character portraying the fashion editor.

8 | Blow Up

The artistic movie Blow Up tells the story of a fashion photographer, who accidentally captures a murder scene on film. It features the famous model Veruschka and Jane Birkin. Eccentric photo shoots and great clothes make this film a must-see for every fashion lover.

9 | The September Issue

Probably one of the most well-known fashion documentaries of the last decade. The September Issue invites us into the secretive workspace of Anna Wintour's Vogue empire. Yet, the true star of the documentary is Grace Coddington, the creative director at large and the person responsible for some of Vogue's most famous photo shoots.

10 | Clueless

AS IF we would forget about Clueless ! This ultimate feel-good High School movie does not only feature the most colorful, preppy and fashionable outfits of the nineties, but will leave you with a big smile on, ready to face the new week in style!
