Now that we know that spring has arrived Summer is just days away. With that many of us switch to summer office hours, whatever that means, right? So for those that do enjoy those hours or it's your day off, and you want to enjoy a good film we have 2 recommendations for you.





We'll start with the first documentary based on the life of British designer Alexander McQueen. This documentary is suppose to be from his years at St. Martins to his transition to the House of Givenchy and the start of his eponymous own fashion label. From the trailer its' self it looks visually amazing. Do not confuse this with this other documentary that came out years ago called "McQueen and I", which was good but felt a bit short. For us McQueen will always be a topic of interest. He had many great fashion moments and his vision was a bit avant garde but he had critics always wanting more. Take a look at it your self.






Our next documentary, and I am waiting patiently for this one, is called The Gospel According to Andre. Now if you're an American Vogue reader, a fashionista, loves fashion week, watches fashion reviews, you know his name, Andre Leon Talley. I love me some ALT, as he is known, he is a fashion force to be reckon with. This film documents the life of Andre from the beginning to his now lavish career. We see interview snippets of many designers, fashion critics, and family. This larger than life persona has finally caught the spotlight and it is well deserved. Cannot wait for this film to drop. 



These will be out in June, hopefully nationwide. Yet, there's many more amazing fashion films to watch below is another one I watch on repeat. 

In Vogue: The Editor's Eye. This film follows all the Fashion Editors of Vogue since the beginning to the present (2012). Walking down memory lane for many of them and just hearing them talk about the work they put together is amazing to watch.
