»Not everybody reads poetry or listens to music, but every single person in the world gets up in the morning and puts on something, and whether you like it or not, that’s a statement on who you are.«
– Isabelle Blow

A study in style, a mix of Super 8 footage that Ostrovsky shot on the catwalks of Paris in 1979/80 and of old film material and statements from well-known fashion designers.
