In this film, Ari follows his personal posse of elderly women who view getting dressed as an artistic process of self-expression in preparation for their active social lives. Among these women are ladies who make their own accessories from recycled toilet paper rolls and fake eyelashes from their own hair. These vivacious women prove that fashion isn't just for the young. Advanced Style is the type of documentary that will have you grinning from ear to ear and makes aging look like loads of fun.

Dior and I

If you've ever wondered what it's like for a new designer to take over as creative director of a storied design house, this documentary shows you in detail. In 2012, Raf Simons became the new creative director at Christian Dior after several seasons with Jil Sander, earning him a reputation as a minimalist. Frustrated by his new reputation, Simons took over a house known specifically for its femininity and romanticism. The film follows Simons and his team as they work to live up to the iconic standards at Christian Dior. It also shows the many people we don't normally hear from, including the textile makers and seamstresses, who hand-stitch the dresses and who are just as emotionally invested in the garments as the designer himself. This personal look at Dior is emotive, memorable, and should not be missed.
