Thanks to everyone who suggested fashion designer biographical DVDs and DVD vendors in response to my message last week. There seems to be no lack of options! Here are the recommendations:
Multiple people mentioned
Insight Media:
(http://www.insight-media.com), which offers titles such as:
Yves Saint Laurent
Jean Paul Gaultier
John Galliano : Fabric and Fantasy
Alexander McQueen: Britain's Darling Designer
Canvassing Fashion
These are only a few of their many DVDs; I am also told titles come with performance rights for classroom instruction.
First Run Features (http://www.firstrunfeatures.com/):
Yves Saint Laurent : His Life and Times
Facets (http://www.facets.org/):
Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton
Landmark Media (http://www.landmarkmedia.com/)
Series and individual titles available.
Videofashion (http://www.videofashion.com/)
Series and individual titles available.
Best,
