This program looks at the 20th century’s fashion statements, from the fashion shows that regaled movie audiences in World War I to the supermodels of today. The program features the editor of British Vogue magazine, several top designers, and supermodel Claudia Schiffer. The program explores why women today earn up to three times what their male counterparts on the catwalk do, and explores the theory of the hemline as a powerful barometer of social and economic trends.
