It’s one of the most glamorous and controversial jobs in the world - but what is it really like to be an international fashion model?

In this frequently shocking behind-the-scenes documentary, film-maker Ole Schell presents a visual diary of his partner Sara Ziff’s rise to international acclaim as a globe-trotting fashion icon. Ziff is a smart cookie, soon realising that the fairy-tale glamour of the modelling industry has a thin veneer, under which a culture of sleaze, exploitation and sexual abuse is prevalent. With her unparalleled access to fellow models, she and Schell present a hard-hitting and honest insight into the dark side of fashion.

“One of the best films about the world of modelling and an honest portrayal of an industry built on artifice” The Observer
