Exploring the dramatic and dazzling world of couture fashion, this ambitious, large-scale production spans continents and reveals the hidden world behind beauty and luxury.
Paris, 2025. A prestigious fashion house receives an important commission: to create the wedding dress for a British royal princess.
Bringing together a British fashion designer, a Parisian fashion house, three French lacemakers and a beadworker in Mumbai, it’s an intense and arduous process, all for a dress that will spend mere minutes in the spotlight.
While, in the real world, everyone involved is bound to secrecy, in this gripping and cinematic show, their fates and efforts – their dreams and their tears – take centre stage.
