I saw Timothy Greenfield Sanders‘ amazing documentary “About Face, Supermodels Then and Now” at Sundance in January and was so moved by it. It was the first time I heard anyone in the fashion industry take any remote responsibility for 70′s model Gia‘s decline. There were so many amazing moments in the film, it was awe inspiring to watch these gorgeous women at every age and listen to their stories about our industry, which has changed so much and yet not at all. There are some shocking and sad stories but also joyful ones, packed with rare archival footage. If you get the chance, I highly recommend seeing it. The film premieres Monday July 30th on HBO, trailer below.
