Mocking the self-serious world of fashion

August 5, 2013 4:09 AM

Model Files is a mockumentary web series about fashion and modeling from an insider's view, executed with very dry humor. Real-life models play themselves, only more ridiculous, sarcastic, or preening, and the show's protagonist, a real-life model casting director, is "one of a handful of human beings who could make Anna Wintour crack a genuine smile." Samples: I Made That Baby, RJ's World, Reality Wars, Save SoSo.

More background from Buzzfeed and The New Yorker (spoiler).

"I love her but... *sad look* she's OLD."

That Save Soso episode isn't even a parody.

I mean that's it. Right there.
