Do You Know What are the best fashion movies ever

　　Some movies are light comedies which make you even more passionate about becoming a part of the fash-pack, others may push that aspiration far, far away.
　　With no further ado, here are 10 chic movies, which should be on every fashionista’s “to watch” list.
　　10. Head over Heels (2001)
　　Don’t be discouraged by reviewers who say this film was silly or banal – people tend to overanalyze the basics. Just sit back and laugh your heart out at the adventures of a regular girl who moves in four models. Amongst all the parties, plastic surgeries and dreamy outfits, Amanda (Monica Potter) is lured into a mystery…
　　9. Raising Helen (2004)
　　If you want to have a nice laugh with your girlfriends or an appropriate yet funny family movie – this is the one to choose. Follow the life of Helen (Kate Hudson), a fashion scene’s VIP , whose sister dies leaving her to raise three children, or would it be the children who are raising Helen?
　　8. Zoolander (2001)
　　Ever wished seeing Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Mila Jovovich in one movie? Then opt for Zoolander – incredibly goofy, dumb but oh-so hilarious! Just remember that “behind every political assassination… there is a male model”!
　　7. Funny Face (1957)
　　Indulge in this romantic take on fashion. Watch Audrey Hepburn marvel in a wide array of stunning costumes. This naïve and beautiful film takes us to fantasy Paris – where all you really need is pizzazz.
　　6. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
　　The ultimate chick flick classic. Get a taste of what’s behind the glossy pages of fashion magazines, from editors from hell to wardrobes from heaven.
　　5. The September Issue (2009)
　　Although not at all a comedy, this documentary is no less entertaining. The film is a display of Anna Wintour and the rest of the Vogue team’s preparations for the September 2007 issue. Perhaps you won’t see any “devils in Prada” here, but you will certainly see all the hard work put into the production of a magazine.
　　4. Valentino: The Last Emperor (2008)
　　Another brilliant documentary about one of fashion’s deities – Valentino. The film gets us one step closer to the emperor himself – Valentino. This sometimes sad and satiric piece is worth more than one view – it will get you thinking about the seriousness and absurdity of the fashion business.
　　3. Fashion (2008)
　　Now to the more sad and dramatic part of fashion. This innovative Bollywood flick will leave you glued to the screen, showing that no one is immune to what’s going on behind the runway stage. The story is based on a middle-class girl, who decides to be a model and who is adamant that her career will not change who she is. But of course, she is wrong.
　　2. Factory Girl (2006)
　　This movie is based on the life and times of a 60’s model and socialite Edie Sedgwick. Be inspired by the outfits and jewellery (who doesn’t like chandelier earrings?) that Edie is wearing and witness the rise and fall of the “poor little rich girl”.
　　1. Gia (1998)
　　Angelina Jolie portrays Gia Carangi, a late 70s supermodel, whose short life was destroyed by drug abuse. This movie will leave a bad taste in your mouth as it shows how cruel and destructive the fashion industry can really be.
