Material Success
Directed by Jesse Mann
Canada, 2012
Greta Garbo and Monroe, Dietrich and Dimaggio. Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean, on the cover of a magazine. Iconic, cherished, and often imitated, these figures serve as pedestals in the immovable institution that is fashion, and thanks to Jesse Mann’s surprisingly vogue documentary, Material Success, you can surely add Canadian fashion designer Bruno Ierullo to that highly exclusive list.
However, to simply call Ierullo a fashion designer is a bit of a misnomer, a bit of a cop out. Through candid footage and talking head interviews, Mann takes us on a journey that follows Ierullo in his frenzied aspiration to envision, create, fund, produce, and manage his very own runway show. Through many trials and tribulations, Ierullo’s convictions are tested, but thanks to a little help from his friends, and his own indelible fortitude, he pushes forward to realize his life long ambitions.
