What if Mary Quant could recommend a fashion documentary? Or if Karl Lagerfeld had to choose a film?
If some of the most influential figures in fashion could pick a documentary from the Moritz Feed Doc catalogue on CaixaForum+, which titles would they choose?
Miuccia Prada and Coco Chanel: Unbuttoned, a portrait of Coco Chanel told in her own words. Both viewed fashion as a tool for social transformation and turned humble materials into symbols of modernity.
The Olsen twins, founders of The Row, alongside Vivienne Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist, dedicated to Vivienne Westwood. Despite their seemingly opposite aesthetics, they share a fascination with deconstructed tailoring, creative independence and the idea of buying less, but better.
Mary Quant would not miss Twiggy, the story of the model who became the face of the Swinging London youth revolution. Together, they redefined femininity in the 1960s through miniskirts, irreverent attitudes and freedom of movement.
Kate Moss would connect with Les dessins d’Yves Saint Laurent, a journey through the French designer’s archives. Both share a sophisticated, androgynous aesthetic and a fascination with beauty’s more ambiguous side.
Naomi Campbell would recommend Invisible Beauty, dedicated to Bethann Hardison, the model and activist who became her mentor and one of the leading voices for racial diversity in the fashion industry.
Gianni Versace would find a kindred spirit in Happy Clothes, the documentary about Patricia Field. Hedonism, colour, club culture and a constant celebration of life connect two figures who challenged the dominant minimalism of their era.
Alexander McQueen would be drawn to Halston. Despite their aesthetic differences, both shared an obsession with pattern cutting, immense creative ambition and a complex relationship with the pressures of the fashion industry.
Hubert de Givenchy would be fascinated by Dries, an intimate portrait of Dries Van Noten. They shared a refined and artisanal vision of fashion, far removed from fleeting trends.
Karl Lagerfeld would choose In & Out of Fashion, dedicated to photographer William Klein. Both shared a love of powerful imagery, irony and nostalgia for a Paris that no longer exists.
Finally, Yves Saint Laurent would recommend Dior and I, which traces the invisible thread connecting Christian Dior, Saint Laurent himself and Raf Simons. It is a story about legacy, sensitivity and the ability to reinvent heritage without betraying it.
All of these documentaries are part of the Moritz Feed Doc catalogue available on CaixaForum+, offering a unique opportunity to discover fashion through some of its most fascinating figures.
