Six true-life stories show the underbelly behind the glamour of the fashion industry.

synopsis

This anthology series explores an unfamiliar side of fashion through the stories of six intertwined characters struggling to stay true to themselves as they strive to get to the top in a cutthroat industry. Talia gave up everything to come to Paris and be a designer, but she works in a ready-to-wear house where she churns out copies of haute couture designs. Elise, an influencer and fashion icon, embraces seduction as part of her feminism, but worries that she has objectified herself and forced her fiancé to be complicit. To fix mistakes that put his position at risk, Raphael goes as far as to confront the Chinese mafia outside their manufacturing plant in Tuscany. Jade struggles to create a truly eco-friendly brand, and Gitanjali organises a jailbreak from a textile factory where she is forced to labour. After uncovering dark secrets about his company’s unsold stocks, Quentin has misgivings about his role and decides to become a Robin Hood of luxury clothing. The series is inspired by real-life tragicomedies.

Director’statement

We use clothes to make us who we want to be. But what empowers us can also enslave us. Using fashion to tackle the complexities of creativity, identity, and prestige, while addressing climate change and wealth disparity, this series examines the difficulty of keeping our humanity in the pursuit of recognition.
