Calendar Girl is an American documentary film about Ruth Finley (1920–2018), founder and editor of the Fashion Calendar, and is directed and produced by Christian D. Bruun and produced and written by Natalie Nudell. The film premiered at the 2020 DOC NYC via virtual screenings.[1]

Production

Calendar Girl was made over five years, filming exclusively in New York. Production began during the last months before the Fashion Calendar was sold to the CFDA. The narrative captures the closing of the Fashion Calendar office and the printing of the last mailed-out issue.

Synopsis

From the early 1940s, for over 70 years, the influential subscription-only Fashion Calendar with its iconic pink pages and red covers—designed to be easily noticed on someone's cluttered office desk—laid out every fashion show and event in New York City, including New York Fashion Week. Behind it was founder Ruth Finley.

Featuring

Besides Ruth Finley, the film features interviews with industry insiders Peter Arnold, Mark Badgley, Jeffrey Banks, Mickey Boardman, Andrew Bolton, Thom Browne, Bill Cunningham, Stan Herman, Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson, Harold Koda, Steven Kolb, Marylou Luther, Fern Malis, Nicole Miller, James Mischka, Ellin Saltzman, Tadashi Shoji, Valerie Steele, and Eric Wilson.

Distribution

The film is represented worldwide by Syndicado Film Sales.
