Made up of thirteen sequences shot in different cinematic styles, the history of French fashion as told by Klein is a humorous hybrid of designer tableaux from Chanel to Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Featuring a B-movie policier with actor Tcheky Karyo in Kenzo suits, a peepshow parade that doubles as a 'True Confessions' for fashion models, arthouse relationship angst dressed in agnès b and Grace Jones and Linda Spierring performing scenes from Marivaux garbed in Azzedine Alaia outfits, this droll, experimental and irreverent celebration of Gallic couture creation circa the 1980s is a fashion documentary curio.
