6 Best Fashion Industry Movies

By Vlad Zakh · May 30, 2026

The fashion world is glamorous and cutthroat, and these films have fun with both. The Devil Wears Prada has an aspiring journalist working for a notoriously demanding magazine editor, Zoolander sends a dim-witted model into an assassination plot, and Phantom Thread sees a dressmaker’s orderly life upended. Funny Face and Pret-a-Porter bring the runway, and A Good Year is the oddball, with a ruthless London trader inheriting a French vineyard.
