To kick off Paris Fashion Week, the Jeu de Paume hosted Paris's first annual fashoin film festival, "A Shaded View on Fashion Film". The Jeu de Paume is a highly esteemed art institution in Paris which housed a collection of photographs this summer by renowned photographer Richard Avedon. Two of Fashion File's films, produced and directed by Madeleine Czigler, were presented to a large audience of fashionistas. The series Masters of Style illustrates the careers of designers John Galliano and Alexander McQueen by following them with exclusive interviews and backstage highlights. You get an in depth view of their struggle to the top. Among the other films were a very funny Jeremy Scott video of one of his collections, an intriguing documentary of The Coquettes, and a feature film by Canadian film maker Guy Madden called "The Saddest Music in the World" (featuring Isabella Rosselini).
