Wednesdays are known for many things (energy depletion, general drabness), but glamour is most definitely not one of them. Yves Saint Laurent to the rescue! The Weinstein Company’s French-language biopic – part one opens in select theaters today — is guaranteed to lend some luster to the dreariest of workweeks with a healthy dose of glitz, some of that aforementioned glamour and of course, a brand of drama that is to be expected from one of fashion’s brilliant bon vivants.
To celebrate the occasion, and help tide you over till a movie date is on the books, we’ve corralled some of the most entertaining fashion documentaries available for immediate at-home viewing (thanks, Netflix!).
