Jeans: A Faded Blue Planet
During an eBay auction in 2000, a pair of jeans dating back to the 1880s fetched $46,532, highlighting the ageless and stylish nature of this garment that was nearly 150 years old. Not only have jeans endured, but they have also entered the realms of politics, music, art, and sexuality. Early marketing, the rise of the Internet, the Cold War, and globalisation all went smoothly for them. Their enduring appeal raises the question: For what reason?
Karl Lagerfeld: An Intimate Portrait
Karl Lagerfeld, who is among the world's most famous people, was probably the most well-known German back in the day. Thanks to his ponytails and shades, Karl Lagerfeld has gained global recognition. Despite this, there is a lack of information regarding Karl Lagerfeld as a person—the man behind the mask. How did he behave? Why did he feel motivated? Who or what was hiding behind those renowned spectacles? This movie has the answer.
Lagerfeld: The Kaiser of Fashion
Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent became bitter rivals in 1954 when Karl, then 21 years old, received first prize for coat design and Yves, at 18 years old, won first prize for best suit design. Following Christian Dior's death, Yves Saint Laurent's offer of the chief position at Dior only made matters worse. In response, Lagerfeld said that he hated haute couture and instead focused on creating clothes for regular people to wear. For Chloe, Fendi, and his namesake label, the icon made airy dresses with daring motifs and sported shows no one could have imagined. Learn about the extraordinary life and work of the man who left the world of fashion shows in February 2019 with a gaping hole in his legacy.
Oh, Dior!
The renowned couturier, who revived Parisian fashion with the 'New Look', also transformed post-war French haute couture. Departing from dreary wartime minimalism, Christian Dior introduced innovative feminine designs when he started his fashion house. Following his death in 1957, the House of Dior continued his innovative style, which continues to inspire new periods of fashion.
