There are two films you must watch if you're into fashion, "The September Issue" and "Marie Antoinette". You must watch "Marie Antoinette", sadly, not for its story plot (it IS based on a REAL person's life, i mean how exciting can a person in the 1900s life be?), but for its scenery and the costume design. When i first saw the costumes designed by Milena Canonero, which she won the academy awards for, i was in awe. I was so struck by the details, the patterns, and the design of the costumes. And then add in the beautiful scenery, you're suddenly back in the 1900s. I guess this has become a huge reason why i'm considering a career in costume design. I was so blown away, and still am, of the costumes Canonero has designed. It amazes me the creation of such design and the hours they must have put into making these costumes come alive.
A stylist once told me, "Some dresses aren't just dresses, they are one of a kind."
So in short, yes, you must watch "Marie Antoinette" for the inspiring costume designs and the awe-strucking scenery.
