The drama of the business, the transcendent beauty of the clothes, and the backstabbing bitchery of the fashion world have always been popular subjects in film. Whether it’s a satanic editor with a taste for Italian couture, a young fashionista dining with diamonds, or a group of disenfranchised queens hoping to set the City of Lights ablaze, these 10 movies are the greatest odes to fashion.

When you think of “supermodel,” you can’t help but think of The Big 3. Or The Super Six. Or my favorite grouping, The Legion of Doom. Spawned from the decadence of the 80s, these gals became more than supermodels — they became divas. From Linda Evangelista refusing to wake up for less than $10,000 a day to the phone-throwing, blood diamond-wearing, catwalking behemoth known as Naomi Campbell, there have never and will never be supermodels the likes of these ladies. Yet their dominance over the zeitgeist was short-lived as they were replaced in the mid-90s by a series of bland waifs whose personalities would not detract from the clothes, i.e. they got knocked from their high horse. But you can’t keep a good super down and they are as in demand today as they were 25 years ago.

This recent shoot for Harper’s Bazaar Spain reminds me of that one scene in Gia where Angelina Jolie makes out with that chick after her photoshoot. Actually chain-link fences always remind me of Jolie naked, but that’s just me. More photos after the jump.

Here is a photo of 1980′s super-model Gia Carangi modeling for Armani. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because she was the model famously portrayed by Angelina Jolie in the tv-movie Gia. Here she is doing classic cheesy catalogue poses:
As you can see by these photos fashion may have changed but Armani hasn’t.
