A great fashion documentary has the power to delight and inspire, as well as to confirm career aspirations. In recent years, some of the world’s most prestigious maisons have opened their doors to the cameras, and the results are as fabulous as the gowns created within them. Take Dior and I, an emotive, sensitive look inside the Christian Dior Paris HQ, as Raf Simons prepared for his debut; or Martin Margiela: In His Own Words, which offers a rare insight into the mind of the famously private designer. Then there are the documentaries which focus on the industry’s most impactful models and muses, from Catwalk to Apple TV+’s The Super Models. Following the splashy Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the latest must-watch release in this tradition, Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge, we take a look back at the best fashion documentaries to date, below.
