So realistic documentry,like it.I went to this country,Egypt,for work ,That's what they really wear in the streets,u see girls like in Europe with hair exposed,and short clothes and u see girls with wide,long clothes and hair covered,u even can see girls covering their faces with veil.But there are places of high fashion girls there in Egypt,some classy places where there are lots of foreigners and classy Egyptian people where u feel like you're at USA or Europe.

yes they often are pretty good! i just regret 4 things. 1 : not an english version. 2 : this tv show is programmed only sporadically so sometimes there is nothing during a couple of months and then 2 or 3 episodes in a week and one more time nothings during months. 3 : there are just few episodes on internet and 4 : there are many and many episodes in countries from asia, america (north and south) and africa but only 1 episode for europe (united kingdom).

i love the way they make discover all the traditional outfits and what they means. they don't focus on a single kind of social class or on very "fashion" or personal people but more on the country's identity. that's also a bit crazy to see all these websites and blogs about fashion all around the world and in fact see all the time people only focus their attention on few famous brand or kind of style and are totally closed on/forget 95% of the rest of international outfits who are more "classical" but in same time underated and often unknown.

sad this kind of stuff are so rare because they are real gems!

episode 5 : Material World

Episode which lifts the lid on the fashion world takes a look at fabric and how it is used to completely different effect by designers like Issey Miyake, Gianni Versace and Christian Lacroix.

episode 6 : Yves Saint Laurent

This episode focuses on the work of the late Yves Saint Laurent, regarded by many as the greatest designer of the 20th century. No couture season could end without a YSL collection, yet this reclusive, sensitive man was dogged by ill health and every year remained coy about whether the collection would be ready in time

i alreayd "posted" this video, but here a shorter version of signé chanel by loic prigent. instead of 5 episode of 21 minutes a single documentary of 52 miinutes. here visual quality is better but no english subtitles.

i also edited few videos "the day before" by Loic Prigent on the first page. quality of these ones is so much better and not cut in 3 or 4 parts, blury and with 30 secondes of advertising everytime. thnk the rest will be posted on internet in the few next days.

you're welcome! i always enjoy to watch this kind of stuff so this would be stupid to find them of internet and keep it for myself when i know other people would appreciate it. unfortunately i deeply regret that most of the good documentaries i found are only in french without any english translation. i looked for but without success. same about an english version of tv shows like "tous les habits du monde" because i think this would be very interesting but nothing :(

Don't worry some of them have close caption options, and the videos really help for my French classes :D!

Found this video that's not completely about fashion, but it involves the fashion industry, Vogue magazine and it's editor through 1999-2000. Really interesting video :)

oh Anna, falulous!

well, about the caption option on youtube get you wrong more than other thing. i checked the 5 first minutes of the video the day before with lavin and during the first minutes they ask him why he is stylist which is in french to french is transcript as "why do you make tourism?". Alber Elbaz is talking about is job and says he couldn't make nothing else, this is the only thing where he's good and he even couldn't be a taxi driver because he can't driveand which has been transcripted as "he drove his bike throught 6 states". the caption option has also introduced lanvin house/main store as a bar (for the alcoholics) in paris. As i said, this is french to french... so result when i saw this i had the feeling i was wacthing a documentary about the drunk version of pee wee big adventure instead of a documentary about lanvin and Alber Elbaz's job.

Same about the needlewomen. during the first secondes of the documentary one says "if i got wrong and i must make the whole thing one more time" and they transcrip this like she said "this plant!" and anothe say "more that small, harder is the work" and they change it in a "smaller is the work, sooner is the end" so...

i tried to see the english translation, without success. not find the option but i stopped after 5 minutes. may should i try another time. anyway, i suppose the result french to english shouldn't be really better...
