It is a satirical arthouse movie spoofing the fashion world and its excesses. It stars Dorothy McGowan as Poly Maggoo, a supermodel who is being followed by a French television crew. It also stars Grayson Hall as Miss Maxwell, a fashion-magazine editor modeled after Diana Vreeland,[1] and Philippe Noiret as the TV reporter and director. Also appearing in the film are Jean Rochefort, Sami Frey, and Alice Sapritch.
McGowan was an Irish-American model prior to the film; she modeled for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.[2] After the release of the film, McGowan's first and only, she disappeared from public view and apparently neither acted nor modeled again, according to Klein.
