Movies about the fashion industry?

Submitted by jigtwazlo t3_124qrqq in movies

I'm looking for movies like Ugly Betty or The Neon Demon. While imperfect, I can't help but be captivated by the portrayals of shallow, fake, opportunistic people. How they will turn on one another to get where they want to be, while battling demons of their own.

It's compelling how the industry itself is a front. The beautiful people simultaneously being the most flawed, battling demons or just being plain awful.

I'd love to hear suggestions of films in a similar vein, set in the industry. The more unpleasant the better!

Triangle of Sadness starts this way: if you want unpleasant, put on a bib and dig in.

That's pretty judgmental and generalizing. Industry and status doesn't make someone vile or not, only the merit of their individual character.

Velvet Buzzsaw, kinda sorta? It's about the art industry rather than the fashion industry, but there's a lot of overlap between the two worlds.

If you're including documentaries, then The September Issue

Shampoo is fashion adjacent, but absolutely deals with the vapid and money hungry.

Not a movie nor is it entirely about fashion. But the original Gossip Girl (2007) is literally everything you just requested.
