Films on Fashion: Confidentially Yours




















































































































The September Issue, a documentary film on Vogue's razor-tongued Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, is out in theaters soon.

Lagerfeld: Confidentiel (2007) is a flashy romp through the septegenerian's everday life as the creative spearhead behind Chanel's revamp in the '80s.

Disclaimer: This film is peppered with '80s tunes and a close look at designer's true nature; by incorporating footage of Lagerfeld at a Paris nightclub in a gold lame jacket, photographing Nicole Kidman for a Chanel ad campaign after a party, perusing silver jewelry to adorn from a bowl, and working in his cluttered office space. Lagerfield claims that a necessity for chaos is essential in reinvention.

The designer's current RTW collection for Fall '09, "Belle Brummell", is inspired by that of a British dandy taking to fits of jade.

Low-slung pants with a matching cropped jacket, fingerless black leather gloves, and white T-straps over opaque tights are of particular note. Not to mention jade nail polish!
