What, exactly, is the job of a fashion stylist? It's a difficult question to answer--even for the creative women and men who have toiled for years in the role--but one that is explored in the new HBO film In Vogue: The Editor's Eye. (youtube.com)

Lisa Immordino Vreeland directs this documentary about Academy Award-winning costume designer Cecil Beaton. A respected photographer, artist and set designer, Beaton was best known for designing on award winning films such as 'Gigi' (1958) and 'My Fair Lady' (1964). The film features archive footage and interviews with a number of models, artists and film-makers who worked closely with Beaton during his illustrious career.

This documentary chronicles the remarkable life and career of Donyale Luna, the first Black model to grace the cover of both Harper's Bazaar (1965) and Vogue (1966). Breaking barriers in the fashion industry, challenging the prevailing ideals of beauty, and influencing culture in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Luna remains largely unknown despite her stunning body of work and her collaborations with some of the foremost fashion photographers of the 20th century.
