The doc clearly tells us that we better believe that fashion should be viewed as art because fashion creates dreams.

I am always a sucker for the eye-gasm of a fashion documentary.

Both events are minefields of planning and politics, which Rossi captures well, though meanderingly at times.

This was more interesting than I thought it would be not just because it shows how much work, thought and creativity goes into such a show, but because of the deep connection to film in this project.

There are many deliciously revealing moments, including discussions about who will sit where at the gala - there has to be a celebrity at every table - and whether Vogue can afford to pay Rihanna twice the usual fee to entertain the guests.

Will lights and hardware be ready? Can they afford the $200K demanded by headliner Rihanna? The viewer's pulse may rise, too, as Rossi's camera roams frantic hallways, offices and limos.

Maddeningly unfocused.

Gorgeous, gossipy, yet penetrating documentary about the marriage of culture and commerce.

The film's focus is too easily distracted by celebrity and turns less documentary and more fawning love letter to an industry already in love with itself.

The kind of party you'll almost definitely never get an invite to.
