INDIE REWIND: The 10 Greatest Fashion Films

Lester Brathwaite — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:36:05 +0000

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.

If your Halloween is a plus one affair, add to the night’s hilarity with coupled offensiveness. Cross age lines, sex lines, religious lines, and general moral standings. There’s no caution tape here, so please proceed with reckless abandon. Trick and treat.

Turning Classic Movies Presents: The 10 Greatest Fashion Films

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 and about fashion.

1. Paris Is Burning (1990)

Set amidst the backdrop of 80s New York ball culture, Paris Is Burning is an exploration of beauty, race, sexuality, capitalism and the American Dream, all wrapped up in a dragtastic homage to the transformative powers of fashion. Also, where do you think Madonna learned to Vogue?

Brush Off Your Best Blue Steel, Zoolander 2 Is Totes Happening

Apparently Ben Stiller listened to his friend Billy Zane — he’s a cool dude –because he’s confirmed that Zoolander 2 is definitely a go.

Stiller and co-writer/perennial fox Justin Theroux have finished the script and it’s now in the chubby, grubby, bejeweled hands of the big bad studio.

Speaking with Empire, Stiller couldn’t say too much about the script, but did reveal this:

“It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe…[Derek's and Hansel's] lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them. Will Ferrell is written into the script and he’s expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.”

Well, considering Will Ferrrell is not at all particular about the movies he does — Land of the Lost, anyone? — we should be able to look forward to another villainous collection along the brilliant lines of Derelicte.

STREET ZEROES: I Hope This Is A Costume

Hillary Frazier — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:05:52 +0000

I hope this is for either 1) a really, really ridiculously good looking party (in which you try to dress as ridiculous as possible or channel anything from Zoolander), or 2) a ‘lets see who can look like the biggest douchebag’ party

Thanks Viceland!

Two models got into a “full-on serious fistfight” at a Parisian nightclub this Fashion Week. Grandpa Karl had to break up the fight and the girls remain unidentified.

Zoolander 2 Confirmed

Rebecca Alexander — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:20:18 +0000

The offical movie of THE fashion people has confirmed a numero duo. Ben Stiller stated:

“We’ve been trying to get Zoolander 2 together and we’ve had a few scripts. I feel that is the sequel I really would like to do some day because I like the original and I would make sure it was something new and worthy of it first”.

Thanks ICYDK
