Last week (May 1) saw the Met Gala pay tribute to Karl Lagerfeld (pictured on the cover), who is recognised as one of the most iconic fashion designers. It tied in nicely with the release of The Mysterious Mr Lagerfeld on April 26, a film which uncloaks the man who is known to be as controversial as he is gifted.

Directed by Michael Waldman, it is one of the many fashion films that have been made. These productions elevate the people in the style industry into on-screen superstars.
