The Devil Wears Prada is the epitome of a chick-flick that everyone can enjoy. Anne Hathaway stars as aspiring journalist Andy who lands her\u00a0 dream job at the distinguished Runway<\/em> Magazine. Andy is drawn into a whirlwind of high-style as she navigates the scathing demands of the poised and commanding editor Miranda Preistly (Meryl Streep) – a thinly veiled nod to Vogue’s<\/em> Anna Wintour. The involvement of many high-end designers in regards to the clothing and accessories featured in this film make it one of the most expensively costumed movies of all time. It’s fun, lavish, and everything we could want from a cast of fantastic actresses and a tonne of stunning outfits!<\/p>\n

‘The Dressmaker’ is an Australian revenge-comedy-drama period-piece… now that’s a genre we don’t see everyday. It’s also a film with a wonderfully dark sense of humour and a stunning sense of style! It follows Myrtle “Tilly” Dunnage (Kate Winslet) an acclaimed dressmaker who returns to the rural outback town of her childhood to care for her ailing mother. She also sets about transforming the local’s lives with her exclusive prowess in high-end fashion.\u00a0There’s also a great deal about murder and vengeance, but we don’t want to spoil too much!<\/p>\n

In Bill Cunningham’s eyes (and lenses) New York’s celebrities, socialites and the everyday city inhabitants are all on an equal standing, so long as their their attire is worth a snap.\u00a0This charming doco takes us into Cunningham’s life pursuit as the widely loved and eccentric archiver of fashion trends and styles all over the city. With a bicycle and a camera he roams the streets collecting shots for his long-running editorial ‘On the Street’ in the The New York Times.\u00a0This doco is an absolute must for anyone seeking to understand or simply ‘indulge in’ the vibrant scene of New York fashion, art and culture. As Vogue editor Anna Wintour puts it “We all get dressed for Bill!”<\/p>\n

In the visually sumptuous ‘Phantom Thread’ London based dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day Lewis – in his final role) finds his high society life turned upside down as he is drawn to the strong-willed waitress Alma (Vicky Krieps). As the roles of muse<\/em> and artist<\/em>\u00a0are continually interrogated, the relationship between this pair embodies a passionate dance and a wicked duel. This flick is both narratively intricate and darkly funny. Definitely one for anyone who loves the stylish thrillers that Hitchcock was making in the 50’s and 60’s.<\/p>\n

‘Funny Face’ is the quintessential film of the 1950’s golden age of boisterous, campy musicals. Like many flicks in this decade it revels in America’s technicolor passion for\u00a0footloose and fancy-free Parisian culture. The adventures unfold as New York fashion photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) accidentally photographs the quiet bookstore worker Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn) and is convinced that she has what it takes to be a fashion icon. The pair find themselves on a whirlwind tour of European Haute couture<\/i>, grand fashion shows and underground dance halls.<\/p>\n
