Movie Nights: Coco, Anna & Valentino

Considering my currently very busy social life {being ironic}, I managed to have a movie night on all 3 weekend nights. I decided to sharpen my fashion knowledge and watch 3 movies I was longing to see for a while now. All of these would make for a perfect girls' movie night!

1. Friday - Coco Before Chanel

The title says it all... don't expect the fabulous life of Coco Chanel, but rather the stories of a tomboy girl. Slow, boring disappointing. :(
Audrey Tatou is great though.

"This is the story of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who begins her life as a headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style."



2. Saturday - The September Issue

I loved it! A documentary of the world of Anna Wintour and the making of the September, 2007 Vogue. Engaging, inspiring, interesting. A must see for all of you fashion addicts out there!

"The September 2007 issue of Vogue magazine weighed nearly five pounds, and was the single largest issue of a magazine ever published. With unprecedented access, The September Issue, directed and produced by R.J. Cutler, tells the story of legendary Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and her larger-than-life team of editors creating the issue and ruling the world of fashion.
The September Issue won the Grand Jury Prize for Excellence in Cinematography at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. "

3. Sunday - Valentino, the last Emperor

 

Another great fashion documentary on the history of the Valentino house. Fabulous fabulous clothes!

"Shown around the world in film festivals to wide acclaim, VALENTINO THE LAST EMPEROR is a feature film that has captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences. It is a behind-the-scenes look at the world of fashion, featuring access never-before allowed in the high temples of Haute Couture. The legendary Valentino is the star of the film, along with his longtime business partner, Giancarlo Giammetti. Valentino The Last Emperor follows them for the final two years of their careers, and show the struggles the two men face as they confront the final act of a nearly 50-year career at the top of the world's most glamorous and competitive game. The struggle of art against commerce is at the center of the film. In the end, however, the story proves to be not one about money or expensive clothes, but about love."

Have you seen any good movies lately?
