Who creates fashion today: the street, the journalists, the photographers, the buyers, the designers?
An enquiry into the strange world of fashion with its actors and their twice-yearly circus-like extravaganza.
At the heart of social life, behind the glitter and the fantasy of its public face, hides the great, all- powerful fashion machine: hard business, know how, big money. A world where craftsman and business man rub shoulders.
