Passion For Fashion - Season 1

This is vintage then and now. The story of how designers, such as Vivienne Westwood took inspiration from British heritage and evolved it into high fashion. The celebrities who love vintage couture and the fashionistas who trade on the past.

Haute Couture is the fine art of fashion. The major protagonists in this dizzy epic have to keep the high standards of the house and project an image that carries through fashion in general so that all their products are noticed.

The term 'Supermodel' is eponymous with the '90s but female icons of the catwalk were gracing the very first issues of Vogue in the '20s. This episode gives us the women who ruled the front pages, captured the photographers and showed us how to sell the product.

The enfant terrible of pop couture, Jean Paul Gaultier encapsulates the spirit of rock'n'roll. His designs have found themselves immortalised in cinema as well as on rock's leading ladies. How fashion stars became synonymous with the rebels of music.

The label is everything.
