Yvonne Sciò's 'Seven Women' Profiles Creative Icons
Yvonne Sciò, former model and actress turned director, has released her second documentary film, 'Seven Women,' following her debut 'Roxanne Lowit Magic Moments.' The film profiles seven women from fashion, film, and activism: Rosita Missoni, co-founder of the Missoni brand; Rula Jebreal, Palestinian journalist; Patricia Field, costume designer for 'Sex and the City' and 'The Devil Wears Prada'; Bethann Hardison, pioneering Black model and activist; Susanne Bartsch, New York club icon; Alba Clemente, artist and wife of Francesco Clemente; and Fran Drescher, star of 'The Nanny.' The documentary explores their resilience and creativity, with Drescher revealing that her character Fran Fine was inspired by 'The Sound of Music.' Field discusses how costumes must be 'interesting' and reflect personality. Bartsch speaks about mixing styles, while Clemente contrasts Naples as 'open-air theater' with New York as 'open-air film.' Hardison, an editor at large for Vogue Black, has been recognized by The Wall Street Journal alongside Iman as a 'superwoman.' The film was featured on Sky Arte.
