(#kcmoviereview) The Devil Wears Prada

Since the start of the year i've been really into watching films but the last several I have watched were action films, so not directly to do with fashion, however I did watch The Devil Wears Prada!

When I was finding my next fashion film to watch I wanted to see Coco before Chanel because I've heard quite a few people talk about it but I could only find french versions. If anyone knows where I can find a full English version, no subtitles, please contact me I would be truly grateful.

When I typed in 'Fashion films' on the Google this was one of the films that came up. From the name and my preassumptions I didn't think that Bruno was anywhere near a fashion film but I decided to watched the whole thing to find out.

As soon as the film started I really didn't know what I was getting myself in to but I started watching it with no judgement except for the fact that I wanted it to have some educational reference to fashion.

Some parts of the film was a bit awkward but I think that was just due to the nature of the film and the character that Sacha Baron Cohen had to play.

Throughout the film he is constantly making jokes about the fashion industry but in the midst of all that you do see familiar fashion faces when he goes to the catwalk.

About 15 minutes into the film I was actually quiet scared about what was left to come throughout the rest of the film. Maybe it wasn't what was looking for? Then again it does show the reality of some parts of the fashion industry.

I guess any career path can make you or break you. Especially the fashion industry!

There is a bit of nudity so if you're not comfortable with that prepare yourself or don't watch it. Some parts of the film had me a little confused on why it was orignally made. The obsession with wanting to be world famous I think may have taken away the real message of the story even though I'm not sure what it was in the first place.

On Bruno's behalf it is nice to have people or a certain person that is fully behind you and believes that you are something, even if you don't see yourself as something.

As a whole, the film wasn't really what I was expecting I thought it was going to have some educational meaning that brings the whole film together. I would say the song that ends the film had a good message throughout but you have to listen hard to catch the odd few lines that are very positive and charitable.

If you're looking for a 'fashion film' unfortunately I don't think this film is for you.

(#kcmoviereview) Bill Cunningham New York

The other morning I woke up and felt like watching a film so I thought let me find a fashion film and write a review for you. So here it is ...

Bill's thirst for finding new fashion on the street is quite inspirational. Running into the middle of the street just to make sure he captures that striking outfit in the right moment.

'The best fashion show is definitely on the street, always has been and always will be.' - Bill Cunningham

I think that I need to venture outside the box and stop being so safe and stop wearing things that everyone else would wear.

'We all get dressed for Bill!' - Anna Wintour

The dedication and the amount of effort Bill puts into every column is remarkable. He makes sure he stays at that computer screen with his editor until the job is done and the job is only done when he's happy, this is normally when the newspaper spread is 'perfect'.

In wind, rain or sunshine Bill is always out finding his next story. It's like he never stops working! It makes me think no matter the weather fashion will never disappear.

'We are all blank canvases when we get up in the morning and we paint ourselves!' - Patrick MacDonald

Bill Cunningham looks like your everyday man with a bike, workers jacket and high vis jacket (at night) but the talent inside of him is one no one could ever replace.

Would you have ever thought that Bill Cunningham had time to go to church? With the amount of time he spends married to his craft I'm surprised he still takes out the time!

Bills style is functional and resourceful. His jacket has many pockets to hold his equipment and belongings and the workman jacket he wears underneath it is cheap and cheerful. Due to the nature of his work he doesn't see the need to buy expensive jackets when his camera is going to rub against it and ruin it. He likes simple down to earth basic things, nothing fancy. I think that this reflects the way he works, the way he lives, and the way he comes across to others in society.

Its nice to know that some of the most influential and well known people in the fashion industry like to live simple well grounded happy lives. For educational purposes I would definitely watch it again to introduce myself to people that I may not have heard of before watching the film.

'He who seeks beauty will find it.' - Bill Cunningham
