There have been an exhausting number of cinematic jaunts into the fashion business. Most recently The September Issue which profiles the production of American Vogue's most expensive and substantial annual issue Premiering at the Gen Art Film Festival this week is Picture Me: A Model's Diary.
The documentary features appearances from fashion industry icons including Nicole Miller, Giles Bensimon, Karl Lagerfeld, Kevin Krier, and Hussein Chalayan. Ole Schell follows model Sara Ziff for several years documenting her rise from a fresh face to one that adorns billboards and magazines around the world. In the process, Ole and Sara go behind the scenes and chronicle the glitzy world of high fashion modeling, from photo shoots with celebrated photographers to runway shows in New York, Milan, and Paris. This intimate account features in-depth interviews with noted photographers and designers, but also relies on footage shot by the models themselves, giving voice to those who are often seen, but rarely heard.
