This first set of documentaries provide insight in the creative process and what it means to explore, crystallize and communicate your vision as a fashion designer. Always a great inspiration when you run a fashion business yourself, and to discover the backstage of a couture house." , "Documentaries - Fashion industry, culture and power
The second set covers fashion as an industry: who owns the house, what the financial pressures are, what the commercial logic demands and the dynamics of business vs. creative directions. That structure is essential to understanding what comes out of it, whether you are making the clothes or buying them." , "Fiction movies and mini-series
