2. Coco Avant Chanel (2009)
The runner-up in our list of films about the fashion world is Coco Avant Chanel. The biography of Gabrielle Chanel takes the viewer into the world of the most influential woman in the fashion industry.
This film is about the orphan girl who, against all odds, manages to create her own empire in a world ruled by men.
Although at first she and her sister Adrienne sing duets in music halls to make ends meet, she takes her chances and becomes a woman of success. She was equal to men and she lived her life just the way she wanted to.
Coco Avant Chanel is, according to The Guardian “a handsomely dressed and tastefully furnished drama”.
