MAY 30 - JUNE 5
PRÊT-À-FILMER: A WEEK OF FASHION FILMS

Sponsored by Three Dollar Bill Cinema

This series of five documentary films celebrates fashion icons— those who made fashion and those who wore fashion in ways that changed the definition of style. In LAGERFELD CONFIDENTIAL, director Rodolphe Marconi follows contemporary fashion's biggest star, Karl Lagerfeld, as he navigates his life in a black-and-white whirl of air kisses and endless rounds of black coffee and champagne. Two intimate documentaries by David Teboul track legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent as he prepares his final women’s collection before his retirement in 2002 — the first and last time St. Laurent allowed cameras into his atelier. The series also includes Loïc Prigent’s MARC JACOBS & LOUIS VUITTON, which journeys inside the professional world of designer Marc Jacobs as he had his team conceptualize, refine and execute two Spring 2007 collections. This series proves that though fashions may change over time, these icons are timeless.
