Material Girl

  • Material Girl

  • What is fashion? Who decides what's in and what's out? Is the catwalk really catty? And what's so super about supermodels?

    Based entirely on true but anonymous stories, Material Girl covers six months in a designer's life and gives you exclusive access to a world where women get paid thousands for getting dressed in the morning and where the wrong shirt length can cost you your career. Tracking the development of a collection from concept to catwalk, onto the front pages of Vogue and then to the high street, it reveals the shocking mark-ups, the fabulous extremes and the shoddy shortcuts which the fashion industry would rather you didn't know about...

Imogen Edwards-Jones is the bestselling author of Hotel Babylon, Air Babylon, Fashion Babylon, Beach Babylon and Wedding Babylon, as well as novels such as My Canape Hell and Shagpile. She lives in west London with her husband and their two young children.
