Runway Uncovered: The Making of a Fashion Show

A fashion show usually lasts between 7 and 20 minutes, a brief moment in time that belies the arduous production and frenetic preparation behind the scenes. "Runway Uncovered" reveals the secrets of the catwalk and everything involved in putting together a major show months beforehand - PR strategies, budgets, venue location, castings, artistic direction, styling, clothes, fittings, hair, make-up and even invitations.
